Abstract
This is a report on revisions to the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) reanalysis of the ocean state in the decade since the publication of version 2 (Carton and Giese, 2008). Revisions include changes to the ocean model, the addition of active sea ice, new forcing data sets, changes to the updating data, and modifications to the data assimilation scheme. The time period of the SODA3 reanalysis is currently 1980-2016. In addition to describing the new data sets I provide some comparison to ORAS5 from ECMWF and the newest ECCO release: ECCO4r3. Finally, I examine the net oceanic heat uptake in SODA3, including its variations in time and among the ocean basins.
