N2 - <p>This
data set presents numerical model data that has been used in the study "the evolution of plume fronts in the Rhine region of freshwater
influence". 
We used the numerical FLOW module of Delft3D. The model domain covers
the southern North Sea by using four nested grids: course, intermediate, fine,
extra-fine. This model is an adjusted version of the ZUNO-DD model created by
Deltares. The two selected model periods, a calm neap and spring period,
coincide with the STRAINS experiment off the Dutch coast in September 2014. The
model output contains waterlevel, salinity, temperature, four tracer
concentrations, vertical eddy viscosity, horizontal and vertical velocities.
The model data is in the time zone UTC+1 and the coordinates are in the
Rijks-Driehoek (RD) system, which is a Dutch coordinate system. The vertical
grid consists of twenty non-equidistant sigma layers. Additionally, front
trajectories and frontogenesis terms are uploaded too (corresponding to Figures
11, 14 and 15).</p>
