Area: Global

Period: 1962-1998

Data available: No

Institution: UK-Met
Model: GloSea OGCM
Resolution: Analysis grid Horizontal 1.25°x1.25° (meridional spacing decreasing to ~0.3° near the equator) Vertical 40 levels Product grid Horizontal 1°x1° Vertical 31 levels
Data assimilated: EN2 subsurface in situ temperature and salinity observational data
Assimilation method: Optimal interpolation including vertical adjustment of S profile from T assimilation Forcing daily ERA40 fluxes with corrected precipitation Relaxation SST relaxed to HadISST up to 1982 and Reynolds SST OIv2 from 1982 (approx 3 day timescale) subsurface (all gridpoints, all levels) T and S relaxation (3 years timescale) towards running-3-monthly Levitus climatology
