At the recent ocean team workshop we’re curating a list of datasets that will be used by many people in the community and be available using ESMvaltool/re-gridded to om3 grids for easy comparison.
We’d like feedback on the best/most up to date datasets. We currently have:
ERSST v4 (SST comparisons)
CNES-CLS13 and AVISO SSALTO/DUACS (mean and variability of SSH comparison). Updated product? Perhaps this: https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/en/data/products/sea-surface-height-products/global/gridded-sea-level-heights-and-derived-variables.html
i.e. The delayed-time “allsat”
WOA2023 (T and S comparisons). Already on Gadi (/g/data/ik11/observations/woa23)
NSIDC CDR v4 (sea ice concentration). NOAA/NSIDC Climate Data Record of Passive Microwave Sea Ice Concentration, Version 4 | National Snow and Ice Data Center
NSIDC sea ice index v3 (area and extent). Sea Ice Index, Version 3 | National Snow and Ice Data Center
Tropical Atmosphere Ocean data. Want: subsurface temperature, fixed depth currents, subsurface salinity. data. Related: Forum post

Perhaps @RyanHolmes, @Pearse, @Matthis_Auger, others might have some suggestions?
@taimoorsohail and @schmidt-christina in Hobart recently, we talked about T/S alternatives?
