The ECCO global 1 degree WOCE Synthesis is analyzed with |
6 |
respect to large-scale changes on interannual and longer time |
7 |
scales. Emphasis is being put on deep temperature and salinity |
8 |
changes and their relations to variations in sea surface height. |
9 |
Changes in heat content on basin and global scale are compared to |
10 |
imbalances in net surface heat forcing and the problem of distinguishing |
11 |
numerical model drift from long-term changes in the ocean is being |
12 |
discussed. |
