| Lineage | The dataset has been derived by the MIT general circulation model (MITgcm) which is a numerical model designed for study of the atmosphere, ocean, and climate. Its non-hydrostatic formulation enables it to simulate fluid phenomena over a wide range of scales; its adjoint capability enables it to be applied to parameter and state estimation problems. By employing fluid isomorphisms, one hydrodynamical kernel can be used to simulate flow in both the atmosphere and ocean. http://mitgcm.org/ It was developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and was one of the first non-hydrostatic models of the ocean. The model is a least squares fit to all available ocean observations. The result is a physically realistic estimate of the ocean state. SOSE is being produced by Matthew Mazloff as part of the ECCO consortium and funded by the National Science Foundation. Computational resources are provided in part by NSF XSEDE. Data include zonal component of velocity [m/s], meridional component of velocity [m/s], potential temperature [oC], Salinity [psu]. For more information on SOSE, see M. Mazloff, P. Heimbach, and C.
