Products
Our products include:
- Model-Data assimilation estimate
- Model simulation estimate (without assimilation)
- Data sets used in assimilation [coming soon]
Access to these products are provided by three applications:
-
via Live Access Server
(LAS)
-
via Distributed Oceanographic Data System
DODS
-
via anonymous
rsync
for full or partial mirroring

Grids Info
All of our products are in
COARDS
compliant netcdf format. Netcdf file is self-explanatory and all meta (grids)
information are embedded in. You can use ncdump command to view them.
Specific to our netcdf data files, please note
-
The horizontal grid is the so-called Arakawa C-grid. Please check
here for grid geometry in details.
Grids for H,T,S, etc. are different than that of either U or V.
-
W is at layer boundaries. All other variables are at layer center.
-
Reference time is always 1970-01-01.
-
*ave_* files are 10 day average. The time assigned is the middle
point of that 10 day. For example, for the first 10day average, it's
day 5, for 2nd, day 15, etc.
-
Depth values assigned are the middle point of layers.
Here is
A Complete Description
of our model grid.
