[ecco-support] ECCO2 Mixed Layer Depths Concerns

[Dimitris Menemenlis]

Daria or Hong, would you have looked at MXLDEPTH depth in the “cube92” solution?

John, why not use the ECCO-V4, which is data-constrained?

ECCO v4 is on a 1-degree grid, which is closer to your desired 2x2 degree grid.

I have binned to model outputs from the jpg site into monthly 2x2 deg. grids.  One thing of concern that I have is the trends in the global MLDs (see attached figure), which are more extreme in the SO.  Is there an issue with maintaining correct ocean boundary layers, esp. in the SO for this model?  Has this been observed yet?
