Table: DUACS products distributed by Climate services (C3S)
Different physical variables are available in the gridded (L4) products. They are described in the Product User Guide and Specification document. Main differences between the gridded sea level products distributed by the Copernicus Marine and Climate services products is the number of satellites used, sea level anomaly references used and spatial and temporal scales used. The details are described in the FAQ.
The Copernicus Marine gridded merged products should be preferred for oceanic mesoscale applications and data-assimilation while the C3S two-satellite gridded merged products should be used for climate applications including mean sea level change, variability and oceanic circulation.
In the future, further differences may arise between these products, particularly regarding the processing of LRM and SAR modes from the Jason-CS/Sentinel-6 mission.
Note : These climate oriented products are also available in the Copernicus Marine Service portal.
