EU Copernicus Marine Service Mercator model 1/12°

Overview

The Operational EU CMEMS global ocean analysis and forecast system at 1/12 degree is providing 9 days of 3D global ocean forecasts updated daily. The time series start on January 01, 2016 and is aggregated in time in order to reach a two full year’s time series sliding window. This product includes daily mean files of currents parameter from the top to the bottom over the global ocean.

Processing information:
The high resolution global analysis and forecasting system PSY4V3R1 uses version 3.1 of NEMO ocean model (Madec et al., 2008).
