Experimental altimetry products ocean (M)SLA, (M)ADT with finer resolution - Sea Surface Heights and Currents - delayed-time - (multimissions - levels 3-4)

Multimission altimeter products "Experimental" with a finer resolution in preparation to the SWOT Era with sea surface heights computed with respect to a twenty-year mean and Geostrophic velocities, resulting from specific processes, available in delayed time. Use: regional studies, ocean variability (mesoscale circulation,...),

Statement

Regional products are :

- along-track Sea Level Anomalies (SLA, level-3), for the North Atlantic, Agulhas current areas from Jason-3, Jason-2, Saral/AltiKa, Cryosat-2 and Sentinel-3A measurements and between 2014/12 and 2017/04, depends on the mission. This Level-3 along-track product is delivered with a 5Hz (i.e. nearly 1km) sampling.

- gridded Sea Level Heights dedicated to Arctic Ocean (EASE2 grid definition),

- gridded Sea Level Heights (MSLA, MADT, level-4) and geostrophic velocities computed with Dynamic Interpolation (1/8°x1/8° and 1/4°x1/4° on cartesian grid), over the Gulf Stream, Udinstev

- gridded Sea Level Anomalies (MSLA, level-4) and geostrophic velocities combining altimetry and drifters (1/4°x1/4° on a cartesian grid), over the Gulf of Mexico

The global product contents:

- the gridded optimally merged velocities (level-4) combining altimetry and SST (1/4°x1/4° on a cartesian grid). Note that this gridded products combining altimetry and SST have been calculated in the framework of three different projects: 1/ a Marie-Curie Fellowship cofunded by the European Union under the FP7-PEOPLE-Cofunding of Regional, National and International Programmes Grant Agreement 600407 and the RITMARE FLAG project (2014-2016), 2/ the ESA Globcurrent project (2014-2018), 3/ the DUACS-MR CNES project (2016-2018).
