DESCRIPTION:Join us for this week's Physical Oceanography Seminar\, featuri
 ng GSO professor Peter Cornillon.\n\nTitle: Estimating the Circulation & C
 limate of the Ocean (ECCO) — The Good\, the Bad and...\n\nAbstract: \n\n
 ECCO was established in 1999 with the goal of combining a general circulat
 ion model (GCM) with diverse observations in order to produce a quantitati
 ve depiction of the time-evolving global ocean state. The model and its de
 rivatives have been run on the global ocean in a number of configurations 
 — spatial resolutions and temporal ranges. The highest resolution versio
 n is referred to as llc-4320 with a spatial resolution of 1/48th of a degr
 ee (~2 km at the Equator)\, 90 levels in the vertical and hourly output. T
 his version of the model has been run for a two year period starting in la
 te 2011. It is forced with observed winds and solar insolation and it has 
 real tides. It is a free-running model\; i.e.\, it does not assimilate oce
 anographic fields. The group at JPL that undertook the llc-4320 run is now
  working on a fully coupled (atmosphere-ocean) version. Initial funding fo
 r the model was through NOPP and use of the model output was one of the 3 
 main foci of NASA's 2018 Physical Oceanography call for proposals.  The bo
 ttom line is that the model is being used extensively in a broad range of 
 ocean studies. In this presentation I address one small element of the mod
 el — the location of the Gulf Stream. The question I asked is ‘How wel
 l is the model doing in this regard?’ Well\, to find out you will have t
 o come to this 30 minute seminar\, a brief summary of my first 6 weeks at 
 JPL.
