Title: Southern Ocean state in CMIP7 fast-track

Description

Coupled climate models have notoriously large biases in the Southern Ocean affecting the Southern Ocean overturning, temperature/salinity characteristics, and currents. The aim of this work is to assess the Southern Ocean state in the CMIP7 (fast-track) models and to inform the community about biases in the models’ representation of the Southern Ocean.

Keen to play a role in this if I have any bandwidth!

Thanks @wghuneke, interested to chip in too!
