Popis: Three ocean reanalyzes including Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA), Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model, and the Navy Coupled Ocean Data Assimilation (HYCOM+NCODA) analysis, and the Ocean General Circulation Model for the Earth Simulator (OFES) are assessed about their ability of depicting the structure of North Equatorial Current (NEC) at 160°
E. We found that these products could reflect the structure of NEC relatively well at the whole section, but not at the single point through comparing their results with mooring and cruising measurement, and the OFES is the best choice to study mesoscale processes versus the other two reanalyzes through comparing their results with satellite measurement.
