'''DEFINITION''' Estimates of Ocean Heat Content (OHC) are obtained from integrated differences of the measured temperature and a climatology along a vertical profile in the ocean (von Schuckmann et al., 2018). The products used include three global reanalyses: GLORYS, C-GLORS, ORAS5 (GLOBAL_MULTIYEAR_PHY_ENS_001_031) and two in situ based reprocessed products: CORA5.2 (INSITU_GLO_PHY_TS_OA_MY_013_052) , ARMOR-3D (MULTIOBS_GLO_PHY_TSUV_3D_MYNRT_015_012). Additionally, the time series based on the method of von Schuckmann and Le Traon (2011) has been added. The regional OHC values are then averaged from 60°S-60°N aiming i) to obtain the mean OHC as expressed in Joules per meter square (J/m2) to monitor the large-scale variability and change. ii) to monitor the amount of energy in the form of heat stored in the ocean (i.e. the change of OHC in time), expressed in Watt per square meter (W/m2). Ocean heat content is one of the six Global Climate Indicators recommended by the World Meterological Organisation for Sustainable Development Goal 13 implementation (WMO, 2017). '''CONTEXT''' Knowing how much and where heat energy is stored and released in the ocean is essential for understanding the contemporary Earth system state, variability and change, as the ocean shapes our perspectives for the future (von Schuckmann et al., 2020). Variations in OHC can induce changes in ocean stratification, currents, sea ice and ice shelfs (IPCC, 2019; 2021); they set time scales and dominate Earth system adjustments to climate variability and change (Hansen et al., 2011); they are a key player in ocean-atmosphere interactions and sea level change (WCRP, 2018) and they can impact marine ecosystems and human livelihoods (IPCC, 2019). '''CMEMS KEY FINDINGS''' Since the year 2005, the upper (0-700m) near-global (60°S-60°N) ocean warms at a rate of 0.6 ± 0.1 W/m2. Note: The key findings will be updated annually in November, in line with OMI evolutions. '''DOI (product):''' https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00234

'''Short description:''' You can find here the biogeochemistry non assimilative hindcast simulation GLOBAL_REANALYSIS_BIO_001_018 at 1/4° over period 1998 - 2016. Outputs are delivered as monthly mean files with Netcdf format (CF/COARDS 1.5 convention) on the native tripolar grid (ORCA025) at ¼° resolution with 75 vertical levels. This simulation is based on the PISCES biogeochemical model. It is forced offline at a daily frequency by the equivalent of the GLOBAL-REANALYSIS-PHYS-001-009 physics product but without data assimilation. '''Detailed description: ''' There are 8 different datasets: * dataset-global-nahindcast-bio-001-018-no3 containing : nitrate concentration * dataset-global-nahindcast-bio-001-018-po4 containing : phosphate concentration * dataset-global-nahindcast-bio-001-018-si containing : silicate concentration * dataset-global-nahindcast-bio-001-018-o2 containing : dissolved oxygen concentration * dataset-global-nahindcast-bio-001-018-fe containing : iron concentration * dataset-global-nahindcast-bio-001-018-chl containing : chlorophyll concentration * dataset-global-nahindcast-bio-001-018-phyc containing : carbon phytoplankton biomass * dataset-global-nahindcast-bio-001-018-pp containing : primary production The horizontal grid is the standard ORCA025 tri-polar grid (1440 x 1021 grid points). The three poles are located over Antarctic, Central Asia and North Canada. The ¼ degree resolution corresponds to the equator. The vertical grid has 75 levels, with a resolution of 1 meter near the surface and 200 meters in the deep ocean.Biogeochemical and physical simulations start at rest (cold start) in December 1991. The spin-up period consists of 5 years of interannual simulation between 1992 and 1997. The simulation period covers the ocean color era (1998 – 2016).The biogeochemical model used is PISCES (Aumont, in prep). It is a model of intermediate complexity designed for global ocean applications (Aumont and Bopp, 2006) and is part of NEMO modeling platform. It has 24 prognostic variables and simulates biogeochemical cycles of oxygen, carbon and the main nutrients controlling phytoplankton growth (nitrate, ammonium, phosphate, silicic acid and iron). The model distinguishes four plankton functional types based on size: two phytoplankton groups <nowiki>(small = nanophytoplankton and large = diatoms)</nowiki> and two zooplankton groups <nowiki>(small = microzooplankton and large = mesozooplankton).</nowiki>Prognostic variables of phytoplankton are total biomass in C, Fe, Si (for diatoms) and chlorophyll and hence the Fe/C, Si/C, Chl/C ratios are variable. For zooplankton, all these ratios are constant and total biomass in C is the only prognostic variable. The bacterial pool is not modeled explicitly. PISCES distinguishes three non-living pools for organic carbon: small particulate organic carbon, big particulate organic carbon and semi-labile dissolved organic carbon. While the C/N/P composition of dissolved and particulate matter is tied to Redfield stoichiometry, the iron, silicon and carbonate contents of the particles are computed prognostically. Next to the three organic detrital pools, carbonate and biogenic siliceous particles are modeled. Besides, the model simulates dissolved inorganic carbon and total alkalinity. In PISCES, phosphate and nitrate + ammonium are linked by constant Redfield ratio <nowiki>(C/N/P = 122/16/1)</nowiki>, but cycles of phosphorus and nitrogen are decoupled by nitrogen fixation and denitrification. Biogeochemical model PISCES (NEMO3.5) is forced offline by daily fields of the physical model NEMO (OPA module in the NEMO platform) without any assimilation of physical data. The main features of this dynamical ocean are: * NEMO 3.1 * Atmospheric forcings from 3-hourly ERA-Interim reanalysis products, CORE bulk formulation * Vertical diffusivity coefficient is computed by solving the TKE equation * Tidal mixing is parameterized according to the works of Bessières et al. (2008) and Koch-Larrouy et al, (2006). * Sea-Ice model: LIM2 with the Elastic-Viscous-Plastic rheology * Initial conditions: Levitus 98 climatology for temperature and salinity, patched with PHC2.1 for the Arctic regions, and Medatlas for the Mediterranean Sea. A special treatment is done on vertical diffusivity coefficient (Kz): the daily mean is done on Log10(Kz) after a filtering of enhanced convection (Kz increased artificially to 10 m2.s-1 when the water column is unstable). The purpose of this Log10 is to average the orders of magnitudes and to give more weight to small values of vertical diffusivity. The atmospheric forcing fields are daily averages from ERA-Interim reanalysis product (CORE bulk formulation). Boundary fluxes account for nutrient supply from three different sources: Atmospheric deposition (Aumont et al., 2008), rivers for nutrients, dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinity (Ludwig et al., 1996; Mayorga et al., 2010) and inputs of Fe from marine sediments. Nutrient and freshwater inflows by rivers are colocalized. River and dust inputs are balanced with sediment trapping of NO3, Si and Carbon. An annual and global value of atmospheric carbon dioxide is imposed at sea surface.

'''Short description: ''' For the Global Ocean - In-situ observation yearly delivery in delayed mode of Ocean surface currents. '''Detailed description: ''' The In Situ delayed mode product designed for reanalysis purposes integrates the best available version of in situ data for Ocean surface currents. The data are collected from the Surface Drifter Data Assembly Centre (SD-DAC at NOAA AOML) completed by European data provided by EUROGOOS regional systems and national systems by the regional INS TAC components. All surface drifters data have been processed to check for drogue loss. Drogued and undrogued drifting buoy surface ocean currents are provided with a drogue presence flag as well as a wind slippage correction for undrogued buoy. '''Processing information: ''' From the near real time INS TAC product validated on a daily and weekly basis for forecasting purposes, and from the SD-DAC quality controlled dataset a scientifically validated product is created . It s a """"reference product"""" updated on a yearly basis. This product has been processed using a method that checks for drogue loss. Altimeter and wind data have been used to extract the direct wind slippage from the total drifting buoy velocities. The obtained wind slippage values have then been analyzed to identify probable undrogued data among the drifting buoy velocities dataset. A simple procedure has then been applied to produce an updated dataset including a drogue presence flag as well as a wind slippage correction. '''Suitability, Expected type of users / uses: ''' The product is designed to be assimilated into or for validation purposes of operational models operated by ocean forecasting centers for reanalysis purposes or for research community. These users need data aggregated and quality controlled in a reliable and documented manner.
