Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Hydrographic data-constrained estimates of the global meridional overturning circulation (GMOC) and its interdecadal changes from 1955 to 2017 (NCEI Accession 0276505)

browse graphicPreview graphic
This dataset contains the decadal means of global meridional overturning circulation(GMOC) and related variables from 1955 to 2017. The dataset is derived from the diagnostic ocean & sea-ice model simulations constrained by historical hydrographic observations.
