Products SSALTO/DUACS Experimental products: gridded velocities combining altimetry and SST
Types of dataset: Ssalto/Duacs mutlimission altimeter products "Experimental". Preparation to the SWOT Era.
Contents: multimission gridded optimally merged velocities combining altimetry and SST (1/4°x1/4° on a cartesian grid).
Use: regional studies, ocean variability (mesoscale circulation,...)
Condition of access : Users should keep in mind that these products are experimental products. Notably, they are not produced on an operational basis.
Citation: When using the SSALTO/DUACS experimental products, please cite: "Those products were processed by SSALTO/DUACS and distributed by AVISO+ (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr) with support from CNES”
Description: global product resulting from specific processes, available in delayed time. Note that the 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).
