Experimental Eddy Products

Example of MESI product [zoomed from global] centered on the Atlantic Ocean.

The sea surface height team in NOAA’s Laboratory for Satellite Altimetry produces two experimental mesoscale eddy products:

  • Multiparameter Eddy Significance Index (MESI)
  • MUltiparameter NRT System for Tracking Eddies Retroactively (MUNSTER)

Sea level Anomaly and Geostrophic Currents, multi-mission, global, optimal interpolation, gridded

Global Map projection displaying sea level anomalies

The NOAA Laboratory for Satellite Altimetry's (LSA) sea surface height team produces 0.25-degree longitude/latitude Level-3 sea level anomaly (SLA) daily datasets by applying optimal interpolation to along-track satellite observations over the global ocean from a constellation of radar altimeter missions. Theses grids are produced with near-real time (3-5 hour latency) data.  Geostrophic Currents are produced from the SLA and are included in the dataset.

Ocean Color - Near Real Time - OLCI Sentinel-3A and 3B Regional Coverage

Map projection of chlorophyll-a concentration over the Atlantic ocean off of the east coast of Florida

OLCI Sentinel-3A and 3B regional coverage (US coasts of interest, a.k.a. "CONUS" but including Hawaii) Level-3 mapped daily composites of ocean color remote sensing reflectances (Rrs(λ), chlorophyll-a concentration and derived water quality related products including diffuse attenuation coefficient at 490 nm (Kd490),  normalized fluorescence line height (NLFH), and total suspended matter (TSM) from the EUMETSAT processing.
