| Summary: | <!--!introduction!--> The Chukchi Sea is an important transition region for Pacific-origin waters flowing north through the Bering Strait into the Arctic Ocean. The inflowing waters bring heat and freshwater, influencing the structure and variability of the entire Arctic Ocean. Monitoring processes in the Chukchi Sea is crucial for understanding Arctic Ocean variability, especially in a changing climate. While difficult accessibility leads to a lack of oceanographic in-situ measurements in the region, satellite altimetry provides precise information on sea surface at different spatial and temporal scales and can be used for studies of the current patterns. Here we present a novel long-term observational altimetry-based dataset of sea level and ocean currents, created with the implementation of the recent advanced algorithms and special techniques for the reliable detection of leads and determination of sea surface heights in the sea-ice-covered ocean. For the processing of the data, a careful analysis ... : The 28th IUGG General Assembly (IUGG2023) (Berlin 2023) ... |
