Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) data products

Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) consortium was established in 1998 as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) with the goal of combining a general circulation model (GCM) with diverse observations in order to produce a quantitative depiction of the time-evolving global ocean state. This dataset includes data products from the original ECCO1 project and the subsequent ECCO-GODAE (Global Data Assimilation Experiment) and GECCO (German ECCO).
There are four groups of data:
1) Monthly, 10-day, daily or 12-hourly ocean model state, adjusted forcing fields and mixing coefficients
2) Observational data sets as they enter the optimization
3)Misfits between model output and available observations, as computed by the model cost/objective function
4) Past published estimates

背景概述

该数据集是ECCO（估算海洋环流与气候）联盟的数据产品集合，旨在结合环流模型和观测数据，生成全球海洋状态的定量时间演化描述。数据集包含多个项目（如ECCO1、ECCO-GODAE和GECCO）的成果，涵盖不同时间分辨率的模型状态、观测数据、模型误差以及历史估计，时间跨度为1951年至2011年，空间覆盖全球海洋范围。
