This dataset provides surface Stokes drift as retrieved from the wave energy spectrum computed by the spectral wave model WAVEWATCH-III (r), under NOAA license, discretized in wave numbers and directions and the water depth at each location. It is estimated at the sea surface and expressed in m.s-1. WAVEWATCH-III (r) model solves the random phase spectral action density balance equation for wavenumber-direction spectra. Please refer to the WAVEWATCH-III User Manual for fully detailed description of the wave model equations and numerical approaches. The data are available through HTTP and FTP; access to the data is free and open. In order to be informed about changes and to help us keep track of data usage, we encourage users to register at: https://forms.ifremer.fr/lops-siam/access-to-esa-world-ocean-circulation-project-data/ This dataset was generated by Ifremer / LOPS and is distributed by Ifremer / CERSAT in the frame of the World Ocean Circulation (WOC) project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA).

Data record (2004-2012) of level 3 hourly sub-skin Sea Surface Temperature derived from Meteosat at 0° longitude, covering 60S-60N and 60W-60E and re-projected on a 0.05° regular grid, in GHRSST compliant netCDF format. The satellite input data come from the imager SEVIRI on MSG satellites (Meteosat-8 and Meteosat-9). SST is retrieved from SEVIRI infrared channels (10.8 and 12.0 µm) using a multispectral algorithm and the cloud mask from CM SAF. NWP outputs (temperature and humidity profiles), OSTIA Sea Surface Temperature re-analysis and analysis, together with a radiative transfer model (RTTOV), are used to correct the multispectral algorithm for regional and seasonal biases due to changing atmospheric conditions. The product format is compliant with the GHRSST Data Specification (GDS) version 2. Users are advised to use data only with quality levels 3,4 and 5.

The ESA Sea State Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project has produced global daily merged multi-sensor time-series of along-track satellite altimeter significant wave height data (referred to as Level 3 (L3) data) with a particular focus for use in climate studies. This dataset contains the Version 3 Remote Sensing Significant Wave Height product, which provides along-track data at approximately 6 km spatial resolution. It has been generated from upstream Sea State CCI L2P products, edited and merged into daily products, retaining only valid and good quality measurements from all altimeters over one day, with simplified content (only a few key parameters). This is close to what is delivered in Near-Real Time by the CMEMS (Copernicus - Marine Environment Monitoring Service) project. It covers the date range from 2002-2021. The altimeter data used in the Sea State CCI dataset v3 come from multiple satellite missions (Envisat, CryoSat-2, Jason-1, Jason-2, Jason-3, SARAL, Sentinel-3A), therefore spanning over a shorter time range than version 1.1. Unlike version 1.1, this version 3 involved a complete and consistent retracking of all the included altimeters. Many altimeters are bi-frequency (Ku-C or Ku-S) and only measurements in Ku band were used, for consistency reasons, being available on each altimeter but SARAL (Ka band).

This dataset provide a times series of daily multi-sensor composite fields of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) foundation at ultra high resolution (UHR) on a 0.02 x 0.02 degree grid (approximately 2 x 2 km) for the North-East Atlantic (European North West shelf, Iberia, Bay of Biscay, Irish Sea down to Canary upwelling), every 24 hours. Whereas along swath observation data essentially represent the skin or sub-skin SST, the L3S SST product is defined to represent the SST foundation (SSTfnd). SSTfnd is defined within GHRSST as the temperature at the base of the diurnal thermocline. It is so named because it represents the foundation temperature on which the diurnal thermocline develops during the day. SSTfnd changes only gradually along with the upper layer of the ocean, and by definition it is independent of skin SST fluctuations due to wind- and radiation-dependent diurnal stratification or skin layer response. It is therefore updated at intervals of 24 hrs. SSTfnd corresponds to the temperature of the upper mixed layer which is the part of the ocean represented by the top-most layer of grid cells in most numerical ocean models. It is never observed directly by satellites, but it comes closest to being detected by infrared and microwave radiometers during the night, when the previous day's diurnal stratification can be assumed to have decayed. The processing combines the observations of multiple polar orbiting and geostationary satellites, embedding infrared of microwave radiometers. All these sources are intercalibrated with each other before merging. A ranking procedure is used to select the best sensor observation for each grid point. The processing is described on Copernicus Marine Service [SST_ATL_PHY_L3S_NRT_010_037 dataset] and users can refer to the user manual and quality documents available there for more details. This dataset is generated daily within a 24 delay and is therefore suitable for assimilation into operational models. It is produced in the frame of Copernicus Marine Service and the data available through various tools and protocols with a simple user registration from this service (product identifier: SST_ATL_PHY_L3S_NRT_010_037) at: https://data.marine.copernicus.eu/product/SST_ATL_PHY_L3S_NRT_010_037/

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 contains the high-frequency total horizontal current at 15m depth on a global grid at 1/4° resolution. It is composed by the addition of two components, the first is the Geostrophic current derived by Altimetry, from the DT-2018 CMEMS database, and the second is the unsteady-Ekman ageostrophic component forced by the wind. All the details about the algorithm and the physical content of this ageostrophy component are given in the ATBD. The data are available through HTTP and FTP; access to the data is free and open. This dataset was generated by Datlas Ocean and is distributed by Ifremer / CERSAT in the frame of the World Ocean Circulation (WOC) project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA).
