| Monthly Ensemble Means 1979-2008 |
organization of data
The data available online is ocean model ensemble means formulated into monthly time series in one, five and ten
year chunks. The data is available on its native grid (tripolar grid) or interlolated onto a latitude/longitude grid.
CF conventions are followed for the naming of variables. Variables:
- mld_OD- mixed layer depth (m)
- mpe_OF- precipitation minus evaporation (m s-1)
- river_OF- river water flux (m s-1)
- sfc_hflux_OF- surface heat flux (W m-2)
- so_O1- salinity (psu)
- tau_x_OF- zonal wind stress (N m-2)
- tau_y_OF-meridional wind stress (N m-2)
- thetao_01- potential temperature (K)
- uo_01- eastward sea water velocity (m s-1)
- vo_01- northward sea water velocity (m s-1)
- wo_OD- upward Sea water velocity (m s-1)
containing the year 1979 potential temperatures would be thetao_O1.197901-197912.nc. The same variable
but timeseries spanning the years 1979 through 1983 would be thetao_O1.197901-198312.nc .
