Brief description
Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) consortium was established in 1998 as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) with the goal of combining a general circulation model (GCM) with diverse observations in order to produce a quantitative depiction of the time-evolving global ocean state. This dataset includes data products from the original ECCO1 project and the subsequent ECCO-GODAE (Global Data Assimilation Experiment) and GECCO (German ECCO). There are four groups of data: 1) Monthly, 10-day, daily or 12-hourly ocean model state, adjusted forcing fields and mixing coefficients 2) Observational data sets as they enter the optimization 3)Misfits between model output and available observations, as computed by the model cost/objective function 4) Past published estimatesData time period: 31 12 1951 to 27 09 2011
