In collaboration with web designer Colleen Boisvert |
|
|
ECCO has launched a new overall project web site. |
|
|
Main purpose of this site is to provide an integrated view |
|
|
of ECCO and it's follow-on projects |
|
|
(ECCO-GODAE, ECCO2, GECCO, ...). |
|
|
It is hoped that readers will get a clear understanding |
|
|
of |
|
|
ECCO's various activities, and will find |
|
|
among ECCO's various ocean state estimation products |
|
|
those which best suit their needs. |
|
|
We welcome any <a href="mailto:heimbach@mit.edu">feedback</a> you may wish to provide. </p> |

<p class="headergray">30 March 2007: Ocean model captures diversity of marine microbes</p> |
|
|
<p> Scientists at MIT have developed a new marine ecosystem model that allows its populations of |
|
|
phytoplankton to realistically evolve, reflecting the diversity in populations in the natural world. This |
|
|
should lead to a better understanding of the coupling between ocean and atmospheric chemistry. |
|
|
The model makes use of ECCO's ocean state estimate to capture the physical environment in |
|
|
which the ecosystem evolves. The study "Emergent Biogeography of Microbial Communities in a |
|
|
Model Ocean" by Michael J. Follows, Stephanie Dutkiewicz, Scott Grant, and Sallie W. Chisholm was published in today's issue of <a href="http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/315/5820/1843" target="_blank">Science magazine</a>. It is part of the <a href="http://www.moore.org/newsitem.aspx?id=2064" target="_blank">MIT Darwin Project</a> and funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.<br /> |

|
|
<p> In a collaboration between the San Diego Supercomputing Center |
|
|
(SDSC) and ECCO, |
|
|
a large part of the ECCO products have been transfered to |
|
|
<a href="http://datacentral.sdsc.edu/resources.html" target="_blank">SDSC's Datacentral</a> and managed via <a href="http://datacentral.sdsc.edu/srb_resource.html" target="_blank">Storage Resource Broker (SRB)</a>. To make these data available to the community via |
|
|
different commonly used servers and software tools, |
|
|
including DODS/OPeNDAP and LAS, |
|
|
SDSC's DataCentral specialist Roman Olschanowsky |
|
|
and MIT's Constantinos Evangelinos successfully |
|
|
implemented DODS/OPeNDAP on top of SRB. |
|
|
The SRB system allows fast and easy data access |
|
|
across various disk and tape resources while ensuring |
|
|
archiving/backup capability. |
|
|
High speed access to the SDSC data using the SRB client tools is also |
|
|
available.</p> |

<p class="headergray">13 November 2006: Elephant seals serving ECCO</p> |
|
|
<p> A unique set of roughly 320,000 individual sub-surface measurements |
|
|
of salinity (conductivity), temperature, and depth (CTD) taken by elephant |
|
|
seals which carried bio-logging and telemetry devices |
|
|
was added to the ECCO state estimation system as new |
|
|
observational constraints. |
|
|
The data were kindly provided by the <a href="http://biology.st-andrews.ac.uk/seaos/index.html" target="_blank">"Southern Elephant Seals as |
|
|
Oceanographic Samplers" (SEaOS)</a> project involving |
|
|
the <a href="http://www.smru.st-and.ac.uk/" target="_blank">University of St. Andrew's NERC Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU)</a> and the <a href="http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/" target="_blank">British Antarctic Survey</a>. The uniqueness of the data derives from the ability of seals |
|
|
to go under the sea-ice which covers large parts of the Southern |
|
|
Ocean poleward of 60S during austral winter and where in-situ data |
|
|
are not available otherwise.</p> |
