Sep 2008: An eddy-permitting Southern Ocean State Estimate (SOSE)
As part of his Ph.D. thesis, Matt Mazloff 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 SDSC Thread Newsletter, and more recently in WHOI's Oceanus magazine (Corralling the Wild and Wooly Southern Ocean).

May 2015: New paper available describing ECCO version 4, release 1
Following the release last year (see News) of a new-generaption, global, bi-decadal state estimate (ECCO-Production, release 1), a paper has been published in the journal Geoscientific Model Development Discussions that provides a detailed description of the model and estimation configuration, the observational data streams, and basic properties of the solution:
