What is ECMWF ocean5?

Thank you for your patience and support during this important move, which will allow exciting scientific developments and overall better service. The ECMWF OCEAN5 system is a new global eddy-permitting ocean-sea ice ensemble reanalysisanalysis system.

What is the Ocean reanalysis product oras5?

The ocean reanalysis product ORAS5 now provides historical ocean states from 1979 onwards. The period 1993-2016 is used to initialise the calibrating hindcasts of the SEAS5 seasonal forecasting system. An ensemble of ocean and sea-ice analyses (five in total) is performed to sample the uncertainty in the ocean and sea-ice initial conditions.

What is the ocean5 system?

The OCEAN5 system is a global eddy-permitting ocean-sea ice ensemble (5 members) reanalysis-analysis system.

Where can I find Ocean reanalysis data?

The first member of ocean reanalysis data (ORAS5) from 1993 onwards (in netCDF format) is available through the CMEMS data portal with a delay of one year. This data is distributed in its native grid as well as in a reduced grid (1×1 degree) and as monthly mean fields, as ECMWF’s contribution to the CMEMS GLO-RAN and GLO-RAN 2 project.
