[ecco-support] ECCO2 seafloor pressure simulations

[Katie Woods]

Hi there,

I'm researching how well global ocean models simulate seafloor pressure
(compared to recorded seafloor pressure at points from 800 m - 3400 m
depth) off the east coast of New Zealand, and have noted that ECCO2 does a
surprisingly good job in relation to GLORYS and HYCOM, considering it has
much poorer spatial resolution that those two models. I was wondering if
someone at ECCO might be able to help me understand why this is the case?

I am using the output PHIBOT parameter from ECCO2, and for the other two
models I'm converting the salinity-temperature profiles and sea-surface
height anomalies to seafloor pressure.

Many thanks,
Katie
