Experimental Products: Multimission Gridded (with SWOT) Level-4 Sea Surface Heights and Velocities

These gridded products are produced from the along-track (or Level-3) SEA LEVEL products (DOI: doi.org/10.48670/moi-00147) delivered by the Copernicus Marine Service (CMEMS, marine.copernicus.eu) for satellites SARAL/AltiKa, Cryosat-2, HaiYang-2B, Jason-3, Copernicus Sentinel-3A/B, Sentinel-6 MF, SWOT nadir, and SWOT Level-3 KaRIn sea level products (DOI: https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/A01-2023.018 ).

Three mapping algorithms are proposed: MIOST, 4DvarNET, 4DvarQG:

- the MIOST approach which give the global SSH solutions: the MIOST method is able of accounting for various modes of variability of the ocean surface topography (e.g., geostrophic, barotrope, equatorial waves dynamic …) by constructing several independent components within an assumed covariance model.

- the 4DvarNET approach for the regional SSH solutions: the 4DvarNET mapping algorithm is a data-driven approach combining a data assimilation scheme associated with a deep learning framework.

- the 4DvarQG approach for the regional SSH solutions: the 4DvarQG mapping technique integrates a 4-Dimensional variational (4DVAR) scheme with a Quasi-Geostrophic (QG) model.

Statement

Les données d'entrée utilisées pour le calcul des produits grillés "Multiscale Interpolation Ocean Science Topography" (MIOST) sont les produits SEA LEVEL le long de la trace (ou Level-3) CMEMS avec les satellites OSTM/Jason-2, Jason-3, SARAL/AltiKa, Cryosat-2, HaiYang-2A, Copernicus Sentinel-3A&B.

L'interpolation multi-échelles (MIOST) combine les données d'altimétrie océanique le long de la trace en grilles continues dans le temps et l'espace. Comme le système de cartographie DUACS, il est basé sur un schéma d'interpolation optimale linéaire, avec un niveau différent de définition des fonctions de covariance. Pour ce produit expérimental, seules les fonctions de covariance représentatives de la variabilité géostrophique à méso-échelle ont été prises en compte.
