International Ocean Model Benchmarking (IOMB)

Description

This dataset represents the NCI replica of Department of Energy's IOMB project data The International Ocean Model Benchmarking (IOMB) Package is used to evaluate marine biogeochemistry models through comparisons with observations. The IOMB collection of reference datasets is formatted following CF conventions.

IOMB datasets cover the following variables: 

• Alkalinity: GLODAP2.2022
• Anthropogenic DIC 1994-2007:Gruber, OCIM
• Chlorophyll: GLODAP2.2022, SeaWIFS, MODISAqua
• Dissolved Inorganic Carbon: GLODAP2.2022
• Nitrate: WOA2018, GLODAP2.2022
• Oxygen: WOA2018, GLODAP2.2022
• Phosphate: WOA2018, GLODAP2.2022
• Salinity: WOA2018, GLODAP2.2022
• Silicate: WOA2018, GLODAP2.2022
• Temperature: WOA2018, GLODAP2.2022
• Vertical Temperature Gradient: WOA2018, GLODAP2.2022

For more information on IOMB, refer to the project website.

Official metadata and access to the data is via the NCI geonetwork record in related identifiers.

These datasets have been replicated to NCI using the ILAMB-FETCH utility provided with ILAMB from the root repository located at https://www.ilamb.org/ILAMB-Data

IOMB development is primarily performed by the RUBISCO Science Focus Area and supported by the RGMA Activity of the EESSD division of the BER program in the DOE's Office of Science. For more information, refer to the ILAMB website: https://www.ilamb.org Replication of IOMB datasets was undertaken by the National Computational Infrastructure (NCI Australia), an NCRIS enabled capability supported by the Australian Government.
