Western Mediterranean Sea gridded L4 Sea Surface Heights and derived variables from VarDyn during the SWOT Cal/Val phase.
Abstract
Altimeter satellite gridded Sea Level Anomalies (SLA) estimated by the VarDyn methodology, merging L3 SWOT (v2.0.1, during its CalVal phase), and along-track measurements with a Quasi-Geostrophic dynamical constraint. The product gives additional variables, i.e., Absolute Dynamic Topography and geostrophic/cyclogeostrophic currents. Users might be interested in using this product for studying small-scale ocean surface processes thanks to its high temporal and spatial resolutions compared to operational products.
