Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 129, e2024JB029583. https://doi.org/10.1029/2024JB029583 Specifications for AAM: Data source: Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA-2) Temporal resolution & coverage: 3 hourly, 1994--2022 Units for mass and motion terms: kg*m^2*s^(-1) Processing: Stationary signals due to atmospheric tides have been removed Other processing steps: Mass terms include angular momentum changes associated with the ocean's inverted barometer (IB) response Specifications for OAM: Derived from a barotropic ocean model simulation (the DEBOT model w/o data assimilation) using MERRA-2 atmospheric forcing Temporal resolution & coverage: 3 hourly, 1994--2022 Units for mass and motion terms: kg*m^2*s^(-1) Processing: Stationary signals due to atmospheric tides have been removed Other processing steps: Angular momentum changes associated with the ocean's IB response are not part of OAM, but AAM (see above) For further information see ReadMe.txt.
