KEY DATASETS
※ 04/07/25 UExP-FNN-U full surface ocean carbonate system dataset (See update to dataset below)
A joint dataset developed between two European Space Agency (ESA) projects; Ocean Carbon for Climate (OC4C; https://oceancarbon4climate.org/) and Satellite-based observations of Carbon in the Ocean: Pools, Fluxes and Exchanges (SCOPE; https://oceancarbon-scope.org/). The dataset extends the University of Exeter Physics Feed Forward Neural Network with Uncertainties (UExP-FNN-U) approach, originally developed within the EU project OceanICU (https://ocean-icu.eu/), to provide estimates of the full surface ocean carbonate system. Within the development there was a focus on climate quality datasets from the ESA Climate Change Initiative (https://climate.esa.int/en/), a careful consideration of the sea surface temperatures used to maintain consistency with the air-sea CO2 flux calculations, and a comprehensive uncertainty budget. These data are available open source on Zenodo (Ford et al. 2025; https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15784426), and a manuscript is available to describe the dataset (Ford et al).
※ 08/12/25 UEx-L-Eddies dataset : Global long-lived mesoscale eddies dataset, available on https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15689876
※ 26/09/26 NEW VERSION: UExP-FNN-U dataset
The team released a new version of UExP-FNN-U dataset. This dataset (or components) are being used in the GCB2026, PHC and by other groups internationally. https://zenodo.org/records/22110725
Data from this project will be provided in CF compliant NetCDF4 data.
