[ecco-support] Announcement: ECCO Workshop at the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting

[Fenty, Ian G (329C)]

The Estimating the Circulation and the Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) Group is pleased to announce the ECCO Workshop: How to use the Latest Ocean State Estimate, to be held during the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Portland, Oregon.

Location: Oregon Convention Center, F152.
Date and Time: Thursday, February 15, 2018: 12:45 PM - 1:45 PM

The workshop will introduce the latest global ocean and sea ice state estimate of the “Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean” (ECCO) Consortium.  This ECCO state estimate, Version 4 Release 3 (ftp://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov/Version4/Release3/), synthesizes nearly all extant in-situ and remotely-sensed ocean and sea-ice data covering the period 1992 – 2015, with a nominal 1-degree horizontal resolution configuration of the MIT general circulation model (MITgcm) over the entire globe.  By design, ECCO estimates conserve heat, salt, volume and momentum —a virtue that is critical for analyzing causal mechanisms of ocean variability, and detecting climate signals that are small residuals of large regional anomalies.

Instructional material will be provided for analyzing different aspects of the state estimate, including budget analysis, along with instructions for downloading and running the ocean model to recreate the solution.  In addition, a selection of recent science applications will be highlighted.  Members of the ECCO Group will be available to answer questions and provide guidance on utilizing the products.

A limited number of boxed lunches will be provided.
We hope you'll join us in Portland.
