Ocean State Estimation at NASA in Support of Climate Research
[10-Oct-2023] ECCO investigator Patrick Heimbach (Univ. of Texas at Austin) was one of the featured speakers at the Task Team on Climate Reanalysis meeting, sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization.
His presentation addresses how ECCO is used to balance momentum, freshwater, and heat budgets for climate analyses. He also shares ECCO's future plans such as bringing ocean climate state estimates to near real time, extending the record back to 1980, increasing horizontal resolution, and coupling to biogeochemical cycles.
