The SIROCCO ocean circulation climate simulations cover the western Mediterranean Sea ( 33°N - 44.5°N / 1.2°W - 16.3°E ) and the periods from 2000 to 2020, from 2030 to 2049, and form 2080 to 2099. It is based on the BlueLion configuration of the Symphonie hydrodynamic model (Marsaleix et al., 2008, 2019). The horizontal resolution of the model bipolar grid (1230 x 1308) varies from 340 m in the northwestern Mediterranean to 4.5 km in the Ionian Sea. The vertical grid has vanishing quasi-sigma 50 levels. This dataset includes daily files of sea surface height, temperature, salinity and current velocities. This simulations were developed in the framework of the ANR POPNCO and the PPR RIOMAR. The initial and open boundary conditions, the atmospheric forcing and the rivers discharge were provided by the CNRM-RCSM6B, regional climate system model (atmosphere, ocean, land surface hydrology) developed at CNRM (Météo-France) over the Mediterranean CORDEX domain (Med-CORDEX). This coupled simulation is based on the NEMO model at 1/12° for the ocean, the Aladin-Climat model at 12 km for the atmosphere and the ISBA-CTRIP land surface hydrology model.

The SIROCCO ocean circulation simulation covers the western Mediterranean Sea ( 33°N - 44.5°N / 1.2°W - 16.3°E ) and the period from 1990 to 2023. It is based on the BlueLion configuration of the Symphonie hydrodynamic model (Marsaleix et al., 2008, 2019). The horizontal resolution of the model bipolar grid (1230 x 1308) varies from 340 m in the northwestern Mediterranean to 4.5 km in the Ionian Sea. The vertical grid has vanishing quasi-sigma 50 levels. This dataset includes daily files of sea surface height, temperature, salinity and current velocities. This simulation was developed in the framework of the PPR RIOMAR. The initial and open boundary conditions, the atmospheric forcing and the rivers discharge (except from the Gulf of Lion) were provided by the CNRM-RCSM6B, regional climate system model (atmosphere, ocean, land surface hydrology) developed at CNRM (Météo-France) over the Mediterranean CORDEX domain (Med-CORDEX). This coupled simulation is based on the NEMO model at 1/12° for the ocean, the Aladin-Climat model at 12 km for the atmosphere and the ISBA-CTRIP land surface hydrology model. The Gulf of Lion rivers were considered using the hydrology database HydroPortail (http ://www.hydro.eaufrance.fr).

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.

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.

This dataset contains the dynamical outputs of a global ocean simulation coupling dynamics and biogeochemistry at ¼° over the year 2019. The simulation has been performed using the coupled circulation/ecosystem model NEMO/PISCES (https://www.nemo-ocean.eu/), which is here enhanced to perform an ensemble simulation with explicit simulation of modeling uncertainties in the physics and in the biogeochemistry. This dataset is one of the 40 members of the ensemble simulation. This study was part of the Horizon Europe project SEAMLESS (https://seamlessproject.org/Home.html), with the general objective of improving the analysis and forecast of ecosystem indicators. See Popov et al. (https://os.copernicus.org/articles/20/155/2024/) for more details on the study.
