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.

  • Archive de toutes les données de température de surface (SST) satellite produites dans le cadre du projet international GHRSST. Ifremer est un GDAC pour ces données, miroir du GDAC NASA/JPL. Ces données sont utilisées pour la génération de produits multi-capteurs (CMEMS, Medspiration) mais également dans le cadre d'un grand nombre d'études ou projets nécessitant l'utilisation de mesures de SST. L'archive regroupe plusieurs jeux de données provenant de différents satellite ainsi que des données in situ de référence pour leur validation. Elle est mise à jour en temps quasi-réel depuis 10 ans, avec service de diffusion opérationnelle associé (FTP et HTTP). Une fiche sextant (issue du catalogue CERSAT) sera fournie pour chaque dataset dans cette archive.

  • 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 Level 4 total current including geostrophy and a data-driven approach for Ekman and near-inertial current, based on a convolution between drifter observation and wind history, to fit empirically a complex and time-lag dependant transfert function between ERA5 wind stress and current 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 Datlas and is distributed by Ifremer / CERSAT in the frame of the World Ocean Circulation (WOC) project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA).

  • Level 3, four times a day, sub-skin Sea Surface Temperature derived from AVHRR on Metop satellites and VIIRS or AVHRR on NOAA and NPP satellites, over North Atlantic and European Seas and re-projected on a polar stereographic at 2 km resolution, in GHRSST compliant netCDF format. This catalogue entry presents Metop-A North Atlantic Regional Sea Surface Temperature. SST is retrieved from infrared channels using a multispectral algorithm and a cloud mask. Atmospheric profiles of water vapor and temperature from a numerical weather prediction model, Sea Surface Temperature from an analysis, together with a radiative transfer model, are used to correct the multispectral algorithm for regional and seasonal biases due to changing atmospheric conditions. The quality of the products is monitored regularly by daily comparison of the satellite estimates against buoy measurements. 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.

  • 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) over Mediterranean Sea, 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 the same (minus the optimal interpolation step) as for the Atlantic Near Real Time (NRT) L3S dataset available on Copernicus Marine Service [SST_ATL_PHY_L3S_NRT_010_037 dataset] and users can refer to the user manual and quality information documents available there for more details. This dataset is generated daily within a 24 delay and is therefore suitable for assimilation into operational models.

  • This Level 2 product provides marine reflectances from the VENµS mission, processed with the Polymer algorithm, on a subset of sites with coastal or inland areas. VENµS (Vegetation and Environment monitoring on a New Micro-Satellite) is a Franco-Israeli satellite launched in 2017, dedicated to the fine and regular monitoring of terrestrial vegetation, in particular cultivated areas, forests, protected natural areas, etc. The images acquired in 12 spectral bands by a camera provided by CNES, on a selection of about one hundred scientific sites spread over the planet, are of high spatial (5 m) and temporal resolution. The lifetime of the VENµS satellite has been divided into two phases: a first phase VM1 at an altitude of 720 km with a 2-day revisit, a native spatial resolution of 5.3 m and a swath of 27.6 km from August 2017 to November 2020, and a second phase VM5 at an altitude of 560 km with a daily revisit, a native spatial resolution of 4.1 m and a swath of 21.3 km from March 2022 to July 2024. VENµS is the first sensor on board an orbiting satellite to combine such revisit frequency and spatial finesse for vegetation monitoring. A subset of sites with coastal areas or inland waters have been identified to generate Level 2 data dedicated to marine reflectance. The geographical areas covered are given through a kmz file, see below to download it. This Level 2 data product has been processed using the Polymer algorithm developed by Hygeos (https://hygeos.com/en/polymer/) and provides marine reflectances for the VENµS bands from 420 to 865 nm. These reflectances, without units, include a bidirectional normalization for the Sun at nadir and the observer at nadir. VENµS data products (Level-1, Level-2 and Level-3) are primarily generated with the MAJA algorithm, further information can be found on THEIA website: https://www.theia-land.fr/en/product/venus/
