https://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/gmaoftp/ehackert/S2S-2_SSS_results/The directories ???Y2015, Y2016, Y2017 and Y2018 contain the monthly mean ocean model output on the 0.5 degree x 0.5 degree x 40 level. Files with the first node eh011 correspond to the ASSIM_AQ/SMAP experiment, eh013 corresponds to the ASSIM_SMOS experiment, odas_e01 is the ASSIM_ALL_SSS experiment, and S2S-2_1_ANA_001* for the No_SSS experiment. See JGR Oceans paper 2019JC015788 for details of the model and experiments.
