More than 29 years of altimeter data have been recently reprocessed by the multi-satellite
Data Unification and Altimeter Combination System (DUACS) and made available under the …

Abstract Model simulations and remote sensing observations show that ocean dynamics at
fine scales (1–100 km in space, day–weeks in time) strongly influence the distribution of …

Turbulent flows at the surface of the ocean deviate from geostrophic equilibrium on scales
smaller than about 10 km. These scales are associated with important vertical transport of …

The new Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission aims to provide
sea surface height (SSH) measurements in two dimensions along a wide-swath altimeter …

Due to its dire impacts on marine life, public health, and socio-economic services, oil spills
require an immediate response. Effective action starts with good knowledge of the ocean …

The Western Mediterranean basin (WMED) is characterized by the presence of energetic
and dynamic mesoscale cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies. They mainly originate along the …

The eastern Mediterranean surface circulation is highly energetic and composed of
structures interacting stochastically. However, some main features are still debated, and the …

Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is a complex and variable ocean system. It features a wide
range of temporal and spatial scales (basin, sub-basin and mesoscale, with the latter being …

In oceanography, the acquisition and processing of observations are crucial to improve the
understanding of complex oceanic processes. Considering an idealized model of the North …

Surface Water & Ocean Topography (SWOT) is the first satellite altimetry mission to measure
the elevation of nearly all water on Earth's surface. SWOT will provide high-resolution maps …
