Global ocean assimilation (1992-2002 1x1)

Monthly fields from the global ocean state estimation during 1992-2002 using 1x1 lat/lon resolution C-grid. The data assimilated include SSH from ERS and TOPEX/Poseidon, monthly Reynolds and TMI SST, NCEP surface forcing, monthly Levitus climatology, WOCE hydrographic sections, SSS observations, XBT and TOGA TAO temperature profiles, temperature and salinity from P-ALACE and ARGO floats, monthly wind stress from ERS/NSCAT/QSCAT and mean 15m drifter velocities.
