Description
We apply an optimised iterative method to retrieve with best accuracy the cyclogeostrophic corrections on fifteen years (2000-2015) of surface geostrophic velocity fields provided by AVISO/DUACS for the Mediterranean Sea. The initial gridded altimeter products were produced by SSALTO/DUACS and distributed by the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (marine.copernicus.eu).
Each netCFD file corresponds to the two cyclogeostrophic velocity components zonal u and meridional v.
