ESA 4DMED-Sea - Finite-Time Lagrangian Vorticity in the Mediterranean Sea derived from MIOST geostrophic velocities (1/24°)

This product provides the Finite-Time Lagrangian Vorticity derived from surface geostrophic velocities result from the application of the MIOST algorithm (Ubelmann et al., 2019; https://doi.org/10.1029/2020JC016560) to altimetry L3-data (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10648981) at a resolution of 1/24° over the Mediterranean Sea and for the period from April 2016 to July 2022. Algorithm used to compute Finite-Time Lagrangian Vorticity was developed by I. Hernandez-Carrasco (Hernandez-Carrasco et al, 2011, Ocean modelling. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocemod.2010.12.006). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Geographical coverage: Mediterranean Sea Grid and horizontal spatial resolution: Evenly spaced 1/24º grid Vertical levels: Only surface level Temporal resolution: Daily (April 2016 - July 2022) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Variables: lon (1D) lat (1D) time (1D) ftlv (2D)
