The Southern Ocean Climate Model Atlas (SOCMA) provides standardized images and metrics of the climate model and Earth System Model simulations conducted as part of the IPCC and CMIP processes. These maps, analyses and metrics are available to researchers of all disciplines and members of the public. SOCMA is housed at the University of Arizona and is a product of the Biogeochemical Dynamics Laboratory (BGDL). SOCMA was created with funding from the National Science Foundation (Award PLR-1246247, “The Southern Ocean in a Warming World: Winds, Carbon and Heat”). Continued funding is through SOCCOM.
