           <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> As part of his Ph.D. thesis, <a href="http://www-pord.ucsd.edu/~mmazloff/" target="_blank">Matt Mazloff</a> has produced an eddy-permitting state estimate at 1/6 degree horizontal resolution of the Southern Ocean, covering the Argo-rich period 2005/06. The adjoint-based solution is dynamically consistent and enables closed budget calculations of various quantities. Matt's thesis was featured in the <a href="http://www.sdsc.edu/us/newsletter/common/newsletter.php?%20issue=2006-02&corner=fstory">SDSC Thread Newsletter</a>, and more recently in WHOI's Oceanus magazine (<a href="http://www.whoi.edu/oceanus/viewArticle.do?id=49240&archives=true" target="_blank">Corralling the Wild and Wooly Southern Ocean</a>).</p> |
