  • We apply an optimised iterative method to retrieve with best accuracy the cyclogeostrophic corrections on fifteen years (2000-2015) of surface geostrophic velocity fields provided by AVISO/DUACS for the Mediterranean Sea. The initial gridded altimeter products were produced by SSALTO/DUACS and distributed by the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (marine.copernicus.eu). Each netCFD file corresponds to the two cyclogeostrophic velocity components zonal u and meridional v. (ssu_adt_DYNED_MED_cyclo_2000_2015.nc & ssv_adt_DYNED_MED_cyclo_2000_2015.nc)
