Technology Description:

[C]Worthy is developing a community framework for model building and data assimilation that would provide the structure and processes necessary to incorporate observations, manage model complexity, and meet the need for accurate carbon accounting for marine carbon dioxide removal. The proposed framework would incorporate observational and forcing datasets, data assimilation, an ocean general circulation model, biogeochemistry, tracers, and marine carbon dioxide removal and marine ecosystem modules to estimate the ocean’s state.
