File structures and naming conventions are described in the readme document.

5 DAY FILES
Here are text files containing lists of the locations of the SODA3.4.1 ocean and sea ice files filled with state variables on the original approximately 1/4°x1/4° displaced pole non-Mercator horizontal grid at 50 z* vertical levels, every 5dy. You can download the complete set of 2628 5dy files using a single linux 'wget' command and these ocean and sea ice link text files, issued from the directory where you want to receive them (e.g. wget -i soda3.4.1_5dy_ocean_or.txt) .

Here are text files containing lists of the locations of the SODA3.4.1 ocean and sea ice files filled with state variables remapped onto a more convenient 1/2°x1/2° Mercator horizontal grid at 50 z* vertical levels, every 5dy. You can download the complete set of 2628 5dy files using a single linux 'wget' command and the regridded ocean and sea ice link text files given above.

MONTHLY FILES
Some quantities (netcdf format) derived from monthly state variable files below:
  • 0/2000m dynamic height (1/2°x1/2° Mercator horizontal grid)
  • Time series of global averaged (between 66S-66N) 0/2000m dynamic height . Global average dynamic height is an estimate of the steric, mainly thermal, contribution to global sea level based on vertical integrations of the hydrostatic equation.
  • 0/700m heat content (1/2°x1/2° Mercator horizontal grid)
  • 0/700m average potential temperature (1/2°x1/2° Mercator horizontal grid)
  • 0/2000m heat content (1/2°x1/2° Mercator horizontal grid)
  • Sea surface height with the monthly global (66S-66N) mean removed (1/2°x1/2° Mercator horizontal grid)

  • SODA3.4.1 3D monthly ocean state variables mapped onto the regular 1/2°x1/2° Mercator horizontal grid 50 z* vertical levels. Each file is 3.3Gb. You can download the complete set of monthly files using a single linux 'wget' command and these ocean and sea ice link text files.

    10 DAY FILES

    Here is a text file containing a list of the SODA3.4.1 10dy avgd temperature and salinity analysis increments, on a 1°x1° horizontal Mercator grid at 50 z* vertical levels (only the top 33, spanning the upper 2000m, have increments). You can download the complete set of the 1314 10dy files using a single linux 'wget' command and the increment link text file.

    Here are text files containing lists of the locations of the 10dy averaged SODA3.4.1 volume transport files on the original approximately 1/4°x1/4° displaced pole non-Mercator horizontal grid at 50 z* vertical levels. You can download the complete set of 1314 files using a single linux 'wget' command and these transport link text file.
