Ocean state estimation framework

ECCO version 4

Content:

This repository contains model settings and documentation (readthedocs) that allow users to download, analyze, rerun, or modify ECCO version 4 ocean state estimates using the MITgcm via on-premise computers or cloud-computing recipes). Model output can be analyzed and manipulated using the gcmfaces and MITprof toolboxes in Matlab / Octave. Other toolboxes are available in Python and Julia.

ECCO version 4 release 2:

Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean version 4 release 2 is an ocean state estimate and solution of the MIT general circulation model that covers the period from 1992 to 2011 (Forget et al., 2016). It is a minor update of the original ECCO version 4 solution (Forget et al., 2015) that benefits from a few additional corrections listed in Forget et al. (2016) and is easier to analyze and re-run. Its input and output are available for direct download via FTP and permanently archived via Dataverse.
