This Southern Ocean Model Atlas is designed to provide access to maps and metrics associated with coupled climate model and Earth system model simulations of the Southern Ocean.
The Southern Ocean Model Atlas provides images to scientists and the general public who want to see how model simulations compare to one another as well as to observationally-based quantities.
We also provide the scripts from which these maps are produced, so that other modeling groups can make similar maps that are directly comparable to the images in this atlas.
We are in the process of adding many other maps/metrics to this Atlas (winds, currents, heat, biogeochemistry, etc.) as well as more detailed analyses.
Please contact us if there are any maps/metrics you would like to see made available
The Southern Ocean Model Atlas works in conjunction with the Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling project
The Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observations and Modeling or SOCCOM's mission is to drive a transformative shift in the scientific and public understanding of the role of the vast Southern Ocean in climate change and biogeochemistry.
The Southern Ocean Model Atlas includes the findings of SOCCOM
