@rabernat, this is a very cool project idea. I would like to work on this, in particular I would like to interface with the oxygen project (cc @yassir.eddebbar @matt-long).
We have recently looked at the Equatorial Undercurrent and its relationship to variability in the Pacific OMZ(aplologies for the paywall), and have found that the ‘shape’ of the EUC, in particular the lower boundary is important for the OMZ. I would propose to try to characterize the EUC in the CMIP6 ensemble (mean, variability, forced response) as part of this project (since its based in Lamont) and also interface with the folks over at @matt-long’s oxygen project? Do you think that is relevant here?
