<p> A fifty year state estimate covering 1950 to 2000 is now available on the ECCO LAS server at <a href="http://www.ecco-group.org/eccolas/servlets/dataset" target="_blank">SDSC</a> The estimate was produced by the "German ECCO" <a href="http://www.ifm.uni-hamburg.de/" target="_blank">(GECCO)</a> group at the University of Hamburg The product is described in Koehl, A., D. Dommenget, K. Ueyoshi, D. Stammer, The Global ECCO 1952 to 2001 Ocean Synthesis Report No.40, March 2006. </p> |
<p> AGU's Fall Meeting 2008 will feature an ECCO session, identified as <a href="http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm08.old/index.php/Program/SessionSearch/?show=detail&sessid=45" target="_blank">OS04: CLIVAR/GODAE: The ECCO State Estimates</a>. This session will provide an opportunity for ECCO product users to (a) describe the scientific implications of their results, (b) enhance the feedback from the broader community to the Consortium, (c) foster the interaction between ECCO members and other scientists who utilize the state estimates. The <a href="http://www.agu.org/cgi-bin/sessions5?meeting=fm08&part=OS41F" target="_blank">oral part (OS41F)</a> will take place on <i>Thursday, Dec. 18th, starting 8am in MW Room 2022</i>. It is preceded by a <a href="http://www.agu.org/cgi-bin/sessions5?meeting=fm08&part=OS31C" target="_blank">poster session (OS31C)</a> on <i>Wednesday, Dec. 17th, starting 8am, in MC Hall D</i>.</p> |

<p><strong><br />Sep 2008: An eddy-permitting Southern Ocean State Estimate (SOSE)</strong></p> |
| 124 |
|
<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> |
