ISASO2 : Argo DO Optimal Interpolation coefficient and Particulate Organic Carbon.

ISASO2 is an Optimal interpolation of DO mean fields between 0-2000 m depth over the period 2005-2019. The coverage is global and the grid is 0.5°. The data source is Argo DO Delayed Mode data available on the GDAC and the first guess for the OI is WOA18 mean map. ISASO2 product is described in Kolodziejczyk et al. (2024, accepted in ESSD). The original ISAS OI method and tool used for mapping ISASO2 are described in Gaillard et al., 2016 (https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-15-0028.1)
