Regional assessment of altimetry products in the NW Med : Comparison to in-situ data and model outputs
In this preliminary study, we investigate the characteristics of a standard regional NRT product & an experimental L3 coastal sea-level product from PISTACH data, and assess their combined use with in-situ data (drifters) and a regional model.
The results suggest that:
•J2 NRT data shows some consistent behaviour with drifter data, despite biases •RED3 retracking : better coastal coverage (>5%)
•NORMED model has an excess of energy at the mesoscales, possibly arising from the lack of energy dissipation towards the finer scales
