Model output containing ocean and sea ice variables from GO6 eORCA1 (1948-2009)
This dataset contains monthly means of ocean and sea ice variables from a 61 year (1948-2009) integration of the GOS6 model configuration at 1degree horizontal resolution. The ocean output fields on T, U, V, and W grids are provided in separate files. The ocean component is on a 1 degree grid (eORCA1) with 75 vertical levels. The temperature and salinity fields were initialised from EN4 climatology (Good et al., 2013) and forced by the CORE2 surface dataset (Large & Yeager, 2009). All initialisation and ancillary data are also included. The outputs were generated under the UK Earth System Modelling (UKESM) project funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) under reference NE/N018036/1.

- Explanation

BODC protocols are based on the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) model enabling BODC to iterate towards compliance with the on-going evolution and development of community requirements including FAIR (Findable,Accessible,Interoperable,Reusable), TRUST (Transparency, Responsibility, User community, Sustainability, Technology) and CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics). Data managers quality assure submissions and assemble the metadata necessary for curation. Submissions (as received) are placed in a long-term accession and stored in triplicate across multiple sites. Appropriate data are transferred into a standard internal format with source variable names mapped to controlled vocabularies, documentation assembled, and metadata loaded into BODC databases. Access to these data is through direct request, the BODC website and through partner repositories such as SeaDataNet. Access control is attained by assigning a data policy to each set of data and this policy is used to administer access when data are requested. Discovery metadata is aligned with EU INSPIRE (through MEDIN) and SeaDataNet community standards. Data are converted to open community formats including Ocean Data View ASCII and SeaDataNet NetCDF, with data described using terms from the NERC vocabulary server. BODC submission agreements are documented on the BODC website and customer service is assured with a dedicated requests team that serve data following local regulations including General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004.

- Statement
-
This dataset contains monthly and annual means of ocean and sea ice variables from a 61 year (1948-2009) integration of the GOS6 model configuration at 1° horizontal resolution of eORCA1. The outputs were generated from scientists at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton under the NERC UKESM project. The data files are archived at CEDA in the format provided by the originators and no QC was done by BODC. The data are available via a DOI.Instrument(s) used to collect data: Global models; Ocean models.
