Global Ocean-Delayed Mode in-situ Observations of surface and sub-surface ocean currents

"'Short description: '''

Global Ocean - This delayed mode product designed for reanalysis purposes integrates the best available version of in situ data for ocean surface and subsurface currents. Current data from 5 different types of instruments are distributed:

  • The drifter's near-surface velocities computed from their position measurements. In addition, a wind slippage correction is provided from 1993. Information on the presence of the drogue of the drifters is also provided.
  • The near-surface zonal and meridional total velocities, and near-surface radial velocities, measured by High Frequency (HF) radars that are part of the European HF radar Network. These data are delivered together with standard deviation of near-surface zonal and meridional raw velocities, Geometrical Dilution of Precision (GDOP), quality flags and metadata.
  • The zonal and meridional velocities, at parking depth (mostly around 1000m) and at the surface, calculated along the trajectories of the floats which are part of the Argo Program.
  • The velocity profiles within the water column coming from Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (vessel mounted ADCP, Moored ADCP, saildrones) platforms
  • The near-surface and subsurface velocities calculated from gliders (autonomous underwater vehicle) trajectories
