To Abstract List
Three high resolution (approximately 1/5 degree on average) simulations of the global ocean have been performed using the POP (Parallel Ocean Program) model developed at Los Alamos. The most recent run used 3-day average ECMWF winds and monthly mean heat fluxes based on ECMWF analysis as described by Barnier, et al. We have hundreds of gigabytes of time-averaged and instantaneous model data from this run covering the years 1985-1995. In addition, we have model data for many of the WOCE one-time lines sampled at the same location and model time as the true cruise data, and velocity time series (sampled every model day) at over 1000 current meter locations. We also have been using Lagrangian particles as psuedo-drifters for mapping the time-mean or instantaneous flow. All of this data can be made available for model-data comparisons.
