Global Ocean-Delayed Mode in-situ Observations of surface and sub-surface ocean currents

"'Short description: '''Global Ocean - This delayed mode product designed for reanalysis purposes integrates the best available version of in situ data for ocean surface and subsurface currents. Current data from 4 different types of instruments are distributed: * The NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) Surface Velocity Program (SVP) Drifter’s reprocessing from 1990. It provides the drifter's position, velocity and includes temperature measurements. In addition, a wind slippage correction is provided from 1993. * The near-surface zonal and meridional total velocities, and near-surface radial velocities, measured by High Frequency (HF) radars that are part of the European HF radar Network. These data are delivered together with standard deviation of near-surface zonal and meridional raw velocities, Geometrical Dilution of Precision (GDOP), quality flags and metadata. * The zonal and meridional velocities, at parking depth (mostly around 1000m) and at the surface, calculated along the trajectories of the floats which are part of the Argo Program. * The velocity profiles within the water column coming from Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (vessel mounted ADCP, Moored ADCP, saildrones) platforms'''DOI (product) :'''https://doi.org/10.17882/86236
