           <p>Following the release last year (see <a href="http://www.ecco-group.org/news.htm">News</a>) of a new-generaption, global, bi-decadal state estimate (ECCO-Production, release 1), a paper has been published in the journal <em>Geoscientific Model Development Discussions</em> that provides a detailed description of the model and estimation configuration, the observational data streams, and basic properties of the solution: |

           <p> The MIT/AER ECCO-GODAE project issued a new solution of its recent version 3 system. The new solution uses atmospheric state fields as control variables in conjunction with an adjoint of the Large and Yeager surface boundary layer scheme, as well as a dynamic/thermodynamical sea-ice model. The solution has been update through the end of 2007 (calculations through end of 2008 are under way). The new solution is available via ECCO's <a href="http://www.ecco-group.org/las/v6/dataset/dataset?catitem=91"  target="_blank">LAS server at MIT</a>.</p> |
