Description
Summary:This dataset has been created as a comparative dataset for assessment of satellite-derived sea surface height anomaly performed by Doglioni et al. (2022). The dataset is composed by two files, each including two time series computed from data at moorings deployed in the Beaufort Sea. Data were collected between 2011 and 2018, in the framework of the Beaufort Gyre Exploration Program (BGEP) based at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, in collaboration with researchers from Fisheries and Oceans Canada at the Institute of Ocean Sciences (https://www2.whoi.edu/site/beaufortgyre/). The time series reproduce steric height and bottom pressure equivalent height, respectively computed from moored temperature and salinity data (from McLane Moored Profilers) and ocean bottom pressure records. Temperature and salinity were linearly interpolated between the shallowest measurement (50 m) and the deepest measurement (2000 m) onto a regular pressure grid with vertical spacing of 2 m. Constant extrapolation was ...
