This product concerns three real-time datasets dedicated to near-surface and deep currents measurements coming from three platform categories (Lagrangian surface drifters, High Frequency radars and Argo floats): ● cmems_obs-ins_glo_phy-cur_nrt_drifter_irr, named drifter in the rest of the document: ○ For GL_TS_DC* files: near-surface zonal and meridional raw velocities measured by drifting buoys, wind & wind stress components, quality flags and metadada. These surface observations are part of the DBCP’s Global Drifter Program (see Table 1) ○ For MO_TS_DC* : near-surface zonal and meridional raw velocities measured by drifting buoys, quality flags and metadada. These data are obtained from various sources (OGS, SOCIB, AOML, Coriolis, see Table 1) and correspond only to drifters on the Mediterranean region ● cmems_obs-ins_glo_phy-cur_nrt_radar-total_irr, named radar_total in the rest of the document: near-surface zonal and meridional raw velocities measured by High Frequency radars (HFR), standard deviation of near-surface zonal and meridional raw velocities, Geometrical Dilution of Precision (GDOP), quality flags and metadata. These surface observations are part of the European HF radar Network (see Mader et al, 2017 and Corgnati et al., 2018) ● cmems_obs-ins_glo_phy-cur_nrt_radar-radial_irr, named radar_radial in the rest of the document: near-surface zonal and meridional components of raw radial velocities measured by HFRs, magnitude and direction of near-surface zonal and meridional components of raw radial velocities (measured in the radial directions covered by each of the HFR stations), standard deviation of near-surface zonal and meridional components of raw radial velocities, quality flags and metadata. These surface observations are part of the European HF radar Network (see Mader et al, 2017 and Corgnati et al., 2018) ● cmems_obs-ins_glo_phy-cur_nrt_argo_irr, named argo in the rest of the document: ocean currents derived from the original trajectory data from Argo GDAC (Global Data Assembly Center). Deep current is calculated from floats drift at parking depth, surface current is calculated from float surface drift. The In Situ TAC aims at providing a research and operational framework to develop and deliver in situ observations and derived products based on such observations, to address progressively global (GLO) but also regional needs either for monitoring, modelling or downstream service development.
