MERCATOR

2° Global Ocean

The first Mercator global model

The implementation of this low resolution global ocean model with altimetry data assimilation is one more step towards the final Mercator objective which is a high resolution global system assimilating satellite and in situ data. Minipog is used by climate forecasting model at Meteo-France.
