ESA 4DMED-Sea - Finite-Time Lagrangian Vorticity in the Mediterranean Sea derived from 4DVARNET8 geostrophic velocities (1/72°)

<p>This product provides the Finite-Time Lagrangian Vorticity derived from surface geostrophic velocities result from the application of the 4DVARNET algorithm (<a href="https://isprs-annals.copernicus.org/articles/V-3-2021/295/2021/isprs-annals-V-3-2021-295-2021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fablet et al., 2021</a>; resolution of the dynamical model used for the learning/training (<a href="https://github.com/ocean-next/eNATL60">eNATL60-BLB02</a>) downgraded to 1/8&deg;) to altimetry L3-data (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10908416) at a resolution of 1/72&deg; over the Mediterranean Sea and for the period from April 2016 to July 2022.&nbsp;</p> <p>Algorithm used to compute Finite-Time Lagrangian Vorticity was developed by I. Hernandez-Carrasco (Hernandez-Carrasco et al, 2011, Ocean modelling. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocemod.2010.12.006).</p> <p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Geographical coverage: Mediterranean Sea</p> <p>Grid and horizontal spatial resolution: Evenly spaced 1/72&ordm; grid</p> <p>Vertical levels: Only surface level</p> <p>Temporal resolution: Daily (April 2016 - July 2022)</p> <p>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Variables:</p> <p>lon (1D)</p> <p>lat (1D)</p> <p>time (1D)</p> <p>ftlv (2D)</p>
