7.4.3.7. SOSE Currents Dataloader

Southern Ocean State Estimate (SOSE) is a publicly available dataset that provides (amongst other products) ocean current vectors of the southern ocean. It is a project led by Mazloff at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

From their website:

The Southern Ocean State Estimate (SOSE) is a model-generated best fit to Southern Ocean observations. As such, it provides a quantitatively useful climatology of the mean-state of the Southern Ocean.

Name in config: 'sose'

Data can be downloaded from here

Note: This dataloader may not work as is for new data downloaded, it has been internally collated into a more easily ingestable format.

class meshiphi.dataloaders.vector.sose.SOSEDataLoader(bounds, params)

import_data(bounds)

Reads in data from a SOSE Currents NetCDF file. Renames coordinates to ‘lat’ and ‘long’, and renames variable to ‘uC, vC’

Parameters:

bounds (Boundary) – Initial boundary to limit the dataset to

Returns:

SOSE currents dataset within limits of bounds. Dataset has coordinates ‘lat’, ‘long’, and variable ‘uC’, ‘vC’

Return type:

xr.Dataset
