Cyclostrophic corrections of AVISO/DUACS surface velocities and its application to mesoscale eddies in the Mediterranean Sea

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.
