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

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: May 06, 2026 at 03:04 AM | Dataset Last Updated: February 06, 2023 at 12:00 AM
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.
