The US CLIVAR Eastern Tropical Oceans Synthesis (ETOS) Working Group (WG) was formed in 2012 and concluded in 2015.
Their scientific objectives include:
The WG is identifying and assembling satellite, buoy and research cruise datasets and assembling plots of readily available CMIP3 and CMIP5 simulations for annual and seasonal-mean values of SST, cloud cover, surface winds, thermocline depth for a climatological time period beginning ~1950 or 1980 up to 2012.
