A century-long eddy-resolving simulation of global oceanic large- and mesoscale state.

ABSTRACT: Investigating oceanic variations at multiple spatial and temporal scales is vital for an in-depth understanding of the ocean response to global climate change. However, the available observational datasets contain uncertainties and deficiencies that leave them insufficient for investigating global ocean variability with long temporal scales and/or meso spatial scales. Here, we present a daily and century-long (1901-2010) global oceanic simulation dataset with high resolution (1/10° horizontal resolution and 55 vertical layers) forced by 6-hour atmospheric data from ERA-20C. Preliminary evaluations demonstrate that this simulation can realistically reproduce the large-scale global ocean circulation and capture the essential features of global surface mesoscale eddies. This long-running high
