ESA 4DMED-Sea - Finite-Time Lagrangian Vorticity in the Mediterranean Sea derived from MIOST geostrophic velocities (1/24°)

<p>This product provides the Finite-Time Lagrangian Vorticity derived from surface geostrophic velocities result from the application of the MIOST algorithm (Ubelmann et al., 2019; https://doi.org/10.1029/2020JC016560) to altimetry L3-data (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10648981) at a resolution of 1/24&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 1/24&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>
