January 2022 : Climatology Delayed-Time reprocessing
-
In January 2022, a new version of the SSALTO/Duacs Climatology products distributed by Aviso, so-called Climatology DUACS 2021, has been released with several significant upgrades. A complete reprocessing of the whole L4 altimeter delayed time series has been performed.
January 2022 : Finite-Size Lyapunov Exponents (FSLEs) and Orientations of associated eigenvectors: reprocessing
- The Delayed-Time FSLEs have been all reprocessed in version DT2021 and are available until December 2020. Those products are disseminated on ftp as well as on OpenDap and the Data extraction tool. See the product page for complete information and your personal page for the access.
Remind: The FSLEs are computed over 21 years and over global ocean within the SALP/Cnes project in collaboration with CLS, LOcean and CTOH. They provide the exponential rate of separation of particles trajectories initialized nearby and advected by altimetry velocities. They can be used for studies on the ocean variability in different domains of biology, assimilation, societal applications,.... Those high level products are gridded (1/25°), in Delayed-Time and on a routine production with 20-day latency and cover the global ocean.
All the information is given in the Aviso+ product page with a complete description and in the user handbook. Moreover, a dedicated webpage showing examples of use is available.
July 2021: temporal extension of Climatology products (Monthly means)
The Monthly means, Seasonal clim, Monthly clim for Global, mediterranean and black sea (so-called Climatology DUACS2018) have been extended until May 2020.

April 2021: Ssalto/DUACS products: New "Multiscale Interpolation" AND update "Dynamic Interpolation"
The experimental grid products family expands with the new Multiscale Interpolation Method and updates with the Dynamic Interpolation Method
The experimental grid products family expands with the new Multiscale Interpolation Method
The innovative Multiscale Interpolation Ocean Science Topography (MIOST) method described in Ubelmann et al., 2021 has been used to compute gridded Ssalto/DUACS maps over one year for the global coverage. This new experimental product proposed by AVISO+ aims at improving the mesoscale circulation resolution and users are encouraged to test this interpolation method in their studies.
The description is detailed in the product page and in the handbook (section 8)
