Release of Global Wave Reanalysis Model with Data Back to 1993

The global wave reanalysis model includes the assimilation of altimeter wave data available from the Topex-Poseidon to the Sentinel-3A missions. It also assimilates directional wave spectra from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) of Sentinel-1A and 1B missions. It is the first time in the world that such directional wave spectra are assimilated into a global wave model reanalysis. It also uses a 3-hourly surface current forcing provided by global ocean physics reanalysis [001_024] implemented by Mercator Ocea
