Combined mean dynamic topography

Types of dataset: auxiliary products

Contents: mean over the 1993-2012 period of the sea surface height above geoid. The MDT_CNES-CLS13 is an estimate of the ocean MDT for the 1993-2012 period. Since April 2014 (Duacs 2014, v15.0 version), the Ssalto/Duacs (M)SLA products are computed relative to 1993-2012 period that is consistent with this new MDT CNES-CLS13.

Use: ocean circulation, operational oceanography Description: based on 2 years of GOCE data,7 years of GRACE data, and 20 years of altimetry and in-situ data (hydrologic and drifters data).(More information)
