MERCATOR French Ocean System: Medium-Resolution Atlantic Product (assimilation by optimal interpolation of altimetry and in situ data)

Entry ID: PSY1V2

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Mercator has been providing weekly analysis and real-time nowcast (T0), and
forecast (T0+7 days and T0 +14 days) bulletins of the three-dimensional ocean
in the North and tropical Atlantic up to 20 degrees S since January 17th 2001.
This medium-resolution bulletin (PSY1V2, 1/3 degree; one point computed every
35 km at the equator) gives conditions ...

Description: Mercator Web products hanbook webpage (including the "Model: analysis and
forecasting" products handbook and the "Observed ocean" products handbook).
This handbook gives you the keys to understanding the 2,000 images you can see
every week in the Mercator Web bulletin. The "observed ocean" system is based
on altimetry and in situ data measurements. Additional information about
Mercator configuration can also be found.
