One mapping algorithm is proposed: the MIOST approach which provides which provides global Sea Surface Height (SSH) solutions. The MIOST method is capable of accounting for various modes of ocean surface topography variability (e.g., geostrophic, barotropic, equatorial wave dynamics) by constructing multiple independent components within a predefined covariance model.

The 4D Marine Heatwaves (MHW) atlas contains 4D (x, y, z, t) **daily temperature and marine heatwaves categories** for global region [82.875°S-89.875°N, 0.125°E-359.875°E], from 0 to 300m depth and a spatial resolution of 1/8°. It covers the period 1993-2022. The MHW atlas has been computed from the temperature 4D fields of the ARMOR3D global product delivered in the Copernicus Marine Service (MULTIOBS_GLO_PHY_TSUV_3D_MYNRT_015_012 - https://doi.org/10.48670/moi-00052 ). The MHW categories are derived from the Hobday’s method [Hobday et al.,2018]. Each MHW event is classified among four categories (moderate to extreme), identified in terms of multiples of the local difference between the 90th percentile and climatological values, and defined as moderate (1-2×, Category I), strong (2-3×, Category II), severe (3-4×, Category III), and extreme (>4×, Category IV). When the category is zero, this means that there is no MHW. The period 1993-2021 is used as a baseline for defining the climatology to be as close as possible to the 30-year period suggested by Hobday. This choice is motivated by the need of altimetry data to constrain the vertical temperature reconstruction, which is required for most ocean reanalyses as well. Additionally, ancillary data are provided together with the data. It consists of 4D daily **temperature climatology** and **90 percentiles of the temperature**. These fields have been used to compute the MHW categories. They are delivered over the same domain as the MHW atlas. ARMOR3D **temperature uncertainties** are also supplied as they can help users to select only the most reliable events in the database. This dataset was generated by CLS (Collecte Localisation satellite) and is distributed by Ifremer /CERSAT in the frame of the CAREHeat project (CAREHeat Website) funded by the European Space Agency (ESA).

This daily High-Resolution (HR) Level 3 gridded wind product is derived from Copernicus Sentinel-1 SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) observations, over the Mediterranean Sea ("MED" area). It is based on the European Space Agency (ESA) Level-2 OCN products at the highest available resolution. Although L2-OCN products already contain wind vectors, those are calculated using the CMOD5.n Geophysical Model Function (GMF) applied to the co-polarized (co-pol) VV channel (emitting in Vertical polarization and receiving in Vertical polarization). This VV GMF was mapped from scatterometer sensors (Hersbach et al., 2007) which are only able to use co-pol measurements. However, these co-pol GMF are known to lose sensitivity for wind above 20 m/s. Therefore, wind based on such GMF alone, are known to under-estimate wind speed (Polverari et al., 2022). For the L3 products winds based on SAR, we take advantage of the available cross-polarized (cross-pol) VH channel (emitting in Vertical polarization and receiving in Horizontal polarization) for which GMF were specifically derived based on C-Band SAR (Mouche et al., 2017, Mouche et al., 2019). Winds estimated from the combination of both the co-pol and cross-pol channels are referred to as dual-polarization (or dual-pol) winds. As shown in Mouche et al. (2019), taking advantage of the dual polarization strongly improves the wind estimation for high wind conditions thanks to the much greater VH channel sensitivity compared to VV. These new wind estimations are then gridded with a 0.012 degree resolution (between 0.5 and 1.2 km in zonal direction depending on the latitude and 1.3 km in meridional direction) using a cylindrical equidistant projection, independently for ascending and descending satellite passes and for each satellite (so 4 wind fields are available per day for two satellites). This dataset is generated over all Sentinel-1 mission time series starting from March 2018 and updated in delayed mode with a 4-months delay. It is also produced for 4 other different European areas. This dataset is produced and disseminated in the frame of Copernicus Marine Service.

This dataset provides the meridional and zonal components of both the stress-equivalent wind (U10S) and wind stress (Tau) vectors.

Satellite altimeters routinely supply sea surface height (SSH) measurements which are key observations to monitor ocean dynamics. However, below a wavelength of about 70 km, along-track altimeter measurements are often characterized by a dramatic drop in the signal-to-noise ratio, making it very challenging to fully exploit available altimeter observations to precisely analyze small mesoscale variations in SSH. Although various approaches have been proposed and applied to identify and filter noise from measurements, no distinctive methodology emerged to be systematically applied in operational products. To best cope with this unresolved issue, the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) actually provides simple band-pass filtered data to mitigate noise contamination in the along-track SSH signals and more innovative and adapted noise filtering methods are thus left to users seeking to unveil small-scale altimeter signals. Here demonstrated, a fully data-driven approach is developed and applied to provide robust estimates of noise-free Sea Level Anomaly (SLA) signals. The method combines Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), to help analyze non-stationary and non-linear processes, and an adaptive noise filtering technique inspired by Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) decompositions. It is now found to best resolve the distribution of the sea surface height variability in the mesoscale 30-120 km wavelength band. A practical uncertainty variable is attached to the denoised SLA estimates that accounts for errors related to the local signal to noise ratio, but also for uncertainties in the denoising process, which assumes that SLA variability results in part from a stochastic process. Here, measurements from the Jason-3, Sentinel-3 A and SARAL/AltiKa altimeters are processed and analyzed, and their energy spectral and seasonal distributions characterized in the small mesoscale domain. Anticipating data from the upcoming Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, these denoised SLA measurements for three reference altimeter missions already yield valuable opportunities to assess global small mesoscale kinetic energy distributions. This dataset was developed within the Ocean Surface Topography Science Team (OSTST) activities. A grant was awarded to the SASSA (Satellite Altimeter Short-scale Signals Analysis) project by the TOSCA board in the framework of the CNES/EUMETSAT call CNES-DSP/OT 12-2118. Altimeter data were provided by the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) and by the Sea State Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project.

The SWOT KaRIn Level-3 Wind Wave product (L3_LR_WIND_WAVE) is an innovative product derived from the Unsmoothed L3_LR_SSH product (DOI: 10.24400/527896/A01-2024.003), which is based on the algorithm presented by Ardhuin et al. (2024). L3_LR_WIND_WAVE takes advantage of the KaRIn Low Rate (LR) chain's ability to resolve waves with wavelengths greater than 500 meters (approximately 18 seconds) and provides detailed information on the characteristics of these wave regimes. This includes significant wave height (SWH), dominant wavelength, and wave propagation direction. These regimes are associated with long-period swells and extreme events that play a critical role in ocean dynamics, coastal processes, and maritime operations. The SWOT L3_LR_WIND_WAVE product is organized into two subproducts, "Light" and "Extended". The L2_LR_SSH "Light" product is described in this metadata sheet. The "Light" L3_LR_WIND_WAVE (also known as the "lightweight" product) includes the SWOT L3_LR_SSH 250-m SSHA spectrum, corrected for instrumental effects and expressed in both Cartesian and polar coordinates. It also includes the swell partition of the spectrum and the wave parameters integrated over this partition, for both the WW3 model and the KaRIn model (significant wave height, wavelength, and direction). The "Extended" L3_LR_WIND_WAVE includes the aforementioned variables plus the WW3 spectrum in the same frequency grid as the KaRIn spectrum and the KaRIn transfer functions used for correction, as well as some parameters derived from KaRIn observations (e.g., coherence, mean backscatter).
