WOC High-Frequency Total Horizontal Current at 15m Depth over Global Ocean Version 2

This dataset contains the high-frequency total horizontal current at 15m depth on a global grid at 1/4° resolution. It is composed by the addition of two components, the first is the Geostrophic current derived by Altimetry, from the DT-2018 CMEMS database, and the second is the unsteady-Ekman ageostrophic component forced by the wind. All the details about the algorithm and the physical content of this ageostrophy component are given in the ATBD.

The data are available through HTTP and FTP; access to the data is free and open.

This dataset was generated by Datlas Ocean and is distributed by Ifremer / CERSAT in the frame of the World Ocean Circulation (WOC) project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA).
