Title

Four-dimensional Variational Ocean ReAnalysis for the Western North Pacific over 30 years (FORA-WNP30)

Abstract

Four-dimensional Variational Ocean ReAnalysis for the Western North Pacific (FORA-WNP30) is the first-ever dataset covering the western North Pacific over the last three decades (1982-2014) at eddy-resolving resolution. This is the cooperative work of Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and Meteorological Research Institude, Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA/MRI) using the Earth Simulator.
