FSLE (Finite Size Lyapunov Exponents)

FSLE - Maps of Finite Size Lyapunov Exponents and Orientations of the associated eigenvectors

Types of dataset: multimission altimeter products derived from Ssalto/Duacs products.

DOI: 10.24400/527896/a01-2022.002 - more metadata

Contents: multimission altimetry-derived gridded backward-in-time Finite Size Lyapunov Exponents and Orientations of associated eigenvectors. These products have been computed in collaboration between CLS, LOcean, CTOH and Cnes.

Use: study of ocean variability in different domains of the biology (mesoscale and sub-mesoscale circulation, seasonal variation...), assimilation, ....

Condition of access : These products are delivered for any purposes as stated in the licence agreement

Description: gridded product, provided in delayed time and routine production of 20-day latency. As a snapshot, each map represents the sea state for a given day. One spatial resolution is available: 1/25°x1/25° on a cartesian grid.

Detailed description: a complete description is available as well as some examples of applications.

Geographic coverage: global

Format: NetCDF-4 Classic with CF standards.

Code delivery: The method was initiated by F. d'Ovidio, LOcean. The products are delivered via the Aviso+ website. The source code is also distributed open source if you intend to apply your own parameters and/or in regional area (see full description of the method and code delivery). To use the code, please cite : "The code used to compute Finite Size Lyapunov Exponents, was developed in collaboration between LOCEAN (F. d'Ovidio) and CLS, is available under GNU General Public License".
