Abstract
SOSE is the product of a numerical model constrained by least squares to fit observations of the ocean state. This is accomplished iteratively through the adjoint method. The result is a physically realistic estimate of the ocean state. SOSE is being produced by Matthew Mazloff as part of the ECCO consortium and funded by the National Science Foundation. Computational resources are provided in part by NSF XSEDE.
The latest product, b-SOSE, is a coupled biogeochemical-sea ice-ocean state estimate. It is produced as part of the SOCCOM project, with funding from NSF.
