<p><strong><br />June 2009: A new ECCO-GODAE solution</strong></p> |
127 |
|
<p> The MIT/AER ECCO-GODAE project issued a new solution of its recent version 3 system. The new solution uses atmospheric state fields as control variables in conjunction with an adjoint of the Large and Yeager surface boundary layer scheme, as well as a dynamic/thermodynamical sea-ice model. The solution has been update through the end of 2007 (calculations through end of 2008 are under way). The new solution is available via ECCO's <a href="http://www.ecco-group.org/las/v6/dataset/dataset?catitem=91" target="_blank">LAS server at MIT</a>.</p> |
