ECCO2 cube78 results have been added to the OceanDIVA server for visualization and intercomparison with other model and data products. Example OceanDIVA output for September 2004 is available here.

Manfredi Manizza, Stephanie Dutkiewicz and Mick Follows are starting to use cs510 ocean and sea-ice solutions in the Arctic ocean region as part of an effort to better understand and model the Arctic terrestrial, atmospheric and ocean carbon cycle.

Guillaume Maze and John Marshall are using the 1/8 degree latitude-longitude solutions to look at the mechanical and thermodynamical air-sea processes that create MODE waters.

David Ferreira, Raffaele Ferrari, Baylor Fox-Kemper and John Marshall are calculating eddy statistics and estimating eddy forcings on the large scale circulation to improve understanding of these phenomena. These estimates are being used to guide development of new parameterizations for processes that are poorly resolved in current generation climate models.
