Brief description
The SODA (Simple Oceanographic Data Assimilation) datasets are global ocean reanalysis datasets created by assimilating timely temperature and salinity observational data into an eddy permitting forecast model based on the Parallel Ocean Program POP1.3 model forced with ERA40 winds. SODA was created to reconstruct historical ocean climate variability on space and timescales similar to those captured by the atmospheric reanalysis projects at NCEP. The CSIRO version of the ENACT dataset is a concatenation of the individual monthly variables into single netcdf files for the time period 1958-2001 with a spatial resolution of .5° x .5° at 40 levels. It has also been processed to include calculated anomaly and climatological forms of this data. There are 3 models available: Ver1.2: Monthly-9 files 80.4GB, Anomaly-9 files 77.3GB, Climatology-9 files 1.88GB Ver1.4.2: Monthly-7 files 76.1GB, Anomaly-8 files 78.0GB, Climatology-7 files 3.5GB Ver2.0.2: Monthly-16 files 152.0GB, Anomaly-16 files 156.0GB, Climatology-16 files 3.5GBLineage

Statement: SODA Model versions 1.2, 1.4.2 & 2.0.2 monthly ocean reanalysis data for oceanographic climate variables concatenated into single files and processed to calculate climatology and anomaly forms of the dataset.
