Description
Summary:This product contains daily snapshots from 1st of January 1993 to 5th of May 2016 of reconstructed salinity, temperature and geostrophic velocities (u and v components) profiles from the surface down to 1900 dbar (every 10 dbar) gridded on a ¼° Cartesian grid for the North Atlantic from 34.1250°N to 59.8750°N and 74.3750°W to 10.1250°W. Note that some of the regions within the dataset domain are not covered by the data (e.g. Labrador Sea, Irminger Sea and West European Basin). The reconstructed profiles are derived from satellite altimetry data and Argo floats using a Gravest Empirical Mode (GEM) technique. The GEM technique creates a transfer function between T/S profiles and dynamic height from Argo floats in order to parameterize salinity and temperature profiles as a function of dynamic height from the satellite altimetry. The GEM is built by interpolating with a cubic smoothing spline the salinity and temperature from all Argo floats available within a selected region, with the dynamic height referenced ...
