Ocean Heat Content and Earth Energy Imbalance: new product available

A new product from “altimetry-gravimetry”, developed within the MOHeaCAN project, is now available for download. It contains monthly time series (between August 2002 and June 2017) of several variables, the main ones being the regional Ocean Heat Content (OHC) (3°x3° spatial resolution grids), the global OHC and the Earth Energy Imbalance (EEI) indicator. Uncertainties are …

OCEANUS: OCEAN sUrface reconstruction from the synergy of Sentinel 3 observations

Ocean currents are a key component to understanding many oceanic and climatic phenomena and furthermore the knowledge we have of them is crucial for navigation and operational applications. Therefore, a key problem in oceanography is the estimation of the synoptic (or “big picture”, large-scale, simultaneous conditions over a broad area) velocity field. Thanks to satellite …
