PRODUCTS

Brief introduction

ECCO products are freely available through several applications. However, we ask that all users of these product use the following standard acknowledgment: "The state estimates were provided by the ECCO Consortium for Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean funded by the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP)."

Data servers contain four groups of data:

  • Monthly, 10-day, daily or 12-hourly ocean model state, adjusted forcing fields and mixing coefficients
  • Obsevational data sets as they enter the optimization
  • Misfits between model output and available observations, as computed by the model cost/objective function
  • Past published estimates are also kept on the data servers
