November 2017: ECCO Tutorial @ Ocean Sciences 2018:

+

The ECCO project will hold a workshop during Ocean Sciences 2018 in Portland, OR. More details regarding the workshop's agenda to follow. +
+ Title: ECCO Workshop: How to use the latest ECCO Ocean State Estimate +
+ Date and Time: Thursday, February 15, 2018: 12:45 PM - 1:45 PM +
+ Location: Oregon Convention Center, F152 +
+

July 2017: ECCO version 4 release 3, covering 1992-2015, now available online:

+

The new release 3 extends the Version 4 estimate using additional observations. The product also incorporates improvements in modeling and estimation. A summary document describes details of the changes. Also available are descriptions of how to evaluate property budgets and how to reproduce the results and generate additional fields using MITgcm.. +

June 2017: A new 20-yr ECCO climatology is now available online:

+

ECCO version 4 has been used to calculate a uniform 20-year climatology as a time-mean over the period 1994-2013. The climatology is readily accessible as Matlab files. +Associated pictorial atlas and descriptions are available in the DSpace@MIT ECCO Community Collection long-term archive. So far these include: +

    May 2016: Joint ECCO-Production and ECCO-IcES Meeting at MIT:

    +

    The ECCO-Production and ECCO-IcES groups will hold a joint project meeting at MIT from 16-18 May 2016. A preliminary meeting agenda is now available online. +

    Mar 2016: ECCO version 4, release 2 (ECCO v4-r2) now available online

    +

    As compared with the earlier release, ECCO v4-r2 benefits from a few additional corrections as documented in this note. ECCO v4-r2 (see products) further includes the full suite of observational inputs and forcing fields, as well as an interpolated version of the state estimate fields (on a half degree lat-lon grid). The ECCO v4 model settings (see model) have also been simplified to facilitate re-runs of the state estimate solution. This capability allows any user to generate model output that may not be available online (see the ECCO version 4 user guide). +

    May 2015 [UPDATED Mar 2016]: paper available describing ECCO version 4, release 1 (ECCO v4-r1) in details

    Following the release in February 2014 (See products) of a new-generaption, global, bi-decadal state estimate (ECCO version 4, release 1), a paper has been published and highlighted in Geoscientific Model Development that provides a detailed description of the model and estimation configuration, the observational data streams, and basic properties of the solution: Forget, G., J.M. Campin, P. Heimbach, C.N. Hill, R.M. Ponte, and C. Wunsch, 2015: ECCO version 4: an integrated framework for non-linear inverse modeling and global ocean state estimation. Geosci.
