The Northern Region Circulation (MECO) Model was developed as part of the FRDC Surrogates 1 project. It covers the region from Joseph Bonaparte Gulf to Torres Strait with a fixed horizontal resolution of 0.05 degrees. Outputs included sea level, currents, bottom stress, and other physical parameters. For this dataset the monthly mean non tidal currents for the Northern Marine Region were used to create GIS map layers. Currents are modeled and are not validated.
