The sea surface height team in NOAA’s Laboratory for Satellite Altimetry produces two experimental mesoscale eddy products:

Multiparameter Eddy Significance Index (MESI): daily 0.25° x 0.25° global fields of the Multiparameter Eddy Significance Index (MESI), which incorporates Level-3 sea level anomalies (SLA) from NOAA’s LSA, along with Geo-polar sea surface temperatures (SSTs) from NOAA CoastWatch, gap-filled ocean color chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) from NOAA CoastWatch, and sea surface salinity (SSS) from NASA’s Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission.
MUltiparameter NRT System for Tracking Eddies Retroactively (MUNSTER): daily mesoscale eddy properties, contours, and trajectories from version 1.0 of the MUltiparameter NRT System for Tracking Eddies Retroactively (MUNSTER). The MUNSTER product suite is based on the NRT sea level anomaly (SLA) fields produced by NOAA’s LSA, which are also available through NOAA CoastWatch. This product includes the MESI data as a gridded variable. Additionally, the suite will include files for:
- Daily identification of mesoscale anticyclonic and cyclonic eddies, including properties and contours for each eddy. This file is organized by eddy.
- Daily tracking of eddy trajectories over a 7-day period, including properties and contours for each eddy included in the trajectory. This file is organized by trajectory.

Multiparameter Eddy Significance Index (MESI)

MESI serves as a first look indicator of the potential impact a given mesoscale eddy may have on upper ocean dynamics, with potential implications for nutrient cycling, mixed layer dynamics, and fisheries. Further information about the applications and functions of MESI can be found in Roman-Stork et al., (2023).

Algorithm

MESI combines longitudinally normalized values of SLA, eddy kinetic energy derived from satellite altimetry, SST, SSS, and ocean color chlorophyll-a (Equation 1 below). SST and Chl-a data were regridded down to 0.25° x 0.25° from their original, higher resolutions in order to match the gridding of the coarser datasets. The absolute values of SST, SSS, Chl-a, and the log₁₀ value of EKE were combined with the normalized value of SLA such that the polarity or sign of SLA is maintained. This format allows for all positive values of MESI to correspond to anticyclonic eddies, or positive SLA values, and all negative values of MESI to correspond to cyclonic eddies, or negative SLA values.

MESI = SLA_norm * abs(log10(EKE_norm)) * abs(SST_norm) * abs(SSS_norm) * abs(Chla_norm)

MESI values greater than +/- 1 are considered to be “high”, and correspond to a high likelihood of a mesoscale eddy having a strong impact on the upper ocean’s circulation and nutrient cycling. MESI values less than +/- 1 are considered to be “low”, and are considered to have a low likelihood of having a mesoscale eddy significantly impact the upper ocean’s circulation.

Data Used

The SLA and EKE used for MESI were taken from the near real time (NRT) 0.25° x 0.25° Level-3 global fields produced by NOAA’s LSA and available from NOAA CoastWatch (found here; Scharoo et al., 2013). EKE was calculated from the geostrophic currents included with the SLA product, and a logarithmic value of this calculated EKE was used in the calculation of MESI. SST values used in MESI were taken from the NOAA CoastWatch Geo-Polar night SST product (found here; Maturi et al., 2017), and this high resolution dataset was regridded onto the 0.25° x 0.25° grid from the SLA and EKE values. Ocean color Chl-a values were obtained from the science quality MSL12 DINEOF gap-filled analysis available from NOAA CoastWatch (found here; Liu et al., 2019). Like SST, the Chl-a fields used in their calculation were of higher resolution and were regridded to 0.25° x 0.25° for this analysis. The SSS values used in MESI calculations were taken from NASA’s SMAP SSS from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) V5.0 product that used their Combined Active Passive (CAP) algorithm (original data obtained from PO.DAAC; Fore et al., 2016). SMAP SSS data were not regridded.

MUltiparameter NRT System for Tracking Eddies Retroactively (MUNSTER)

Algorithm

MUltiparameter NRT System for Tracking Eddies Retroactively (MUNSTER) Algorithm MUNSTER uses an algorithm adapted from Chaigneau et al., (2008, 2009) and Peglaisco et al., (2015). It employs a closed contour method applied to the daily gridded NRT SLA fields produced by NOAA’s LSA. The closed contour method locally identifies maxima and minima within the filtered SLA fields with a contour interval of 0.1 cm, and the eddy edge is defined as the outermost closed contour around the identified eddy center such that at least 4 grid points are included within the contour. From this analysis, eddy amplitude, radius, area, and location are identified, and then multiple additional properties are calculated. Observations from SST, ocean color Chlorophyll-a, SSS, and MESIv1 are also collocated with the identified eddy.

Eddy trajectories are calculated using SLA fields such that eddy contours at time n and time n+1 are found to overlap. When no overlap is found, the eddy is considered to have dissipated. If multiple successive contours overlap with a given contour, a cost function is employed that uses amplitude, radius, and EKE to calculate splitting and merging events. The cost function seeks to minimize the result, and the contour with the smaller result is chosen (Pegliasco et al., 2015).

Eddy properties, or characteristics, are calculated as mean values of tracked variables across an eddy on a given day. The location of the eddy center and eddy centroid are provided along with a variety of properties, including eddy amplitude, radius, area, EKE, the Okubo-Weiss parameter, divergence, mean geostrophic currents, SST, SSS, Chl-a, and the Multiparameter Eddy Significance Index (MESI). More information about MESI can be found in Roman-Stork et al., (2023) or on this product page (above).

Data Used

The SLA and EKE used for MUNSTER were taken from the near real time (NRT) 0.25° x 0.25° Level-3 global fields produced by NOAA’s LSA and available from NOAA CoastWatch (found here; Scharoo et al., 2013). EKE was calculated from the geostrophic currents included with the SLA product, and a logarithmic value of this calculated EKE was used in the calculation of MESI. SST values used in MUNSTER were taken from the NOAA CoastWatch Geo-Polar night SST product (found here; Maturi et al., 2017), and this high resolution dataset was regridded onto the 0.25° x 0.25° grid from the SLA and EKE values. Ocean color Chl-a values were obtained from the science quality MSL12 DINEOF gap-filled analysis available from NOAA CoastWatch (found here; Liu et al., 2019). Like SST, the Chl-a fields used in their calculation were of higher resolution and were regridded to 0.25° x 0.25° for this analysis. The SSS values used in MUNSTER calculations were taken from NASA’s SMAP SSS from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) V5.0 product that used their Combined Active Passive (CAP) algorithm (original data obtained from PO.DAAC; Fore et al., 2016). SMAP SSS data were not regridded.

MUNSTER is a threshold-free product, and thus does not exclude low amplitude, or short-lived eddies from its analysis. This product suite is designed to be user-friendly and not require the download of multiple data products, such that numerous quantities used in mesoscale eddy analysis are already contained within the MUNSTER product suite and tracked along with each eddy, including amplitude, radius, are, eddy kinetic energy (EKE), sea surface temperature (SST), and sea surface salinity (SSS), and ocean color chlorophyll-a.

Products distributed by NOAA CoastWatch are divided into MUNSTER I and MUNSTER II datasets where:

MUNSTER I: NetCDF datasets of daily gridded (2D) and 1D data. These datasets include daily MESI data, eddy locations, and eddy properties and are described within this webpage.
MUNSTER II: NetCDF datasets of multi-day eddy trajectories and inter-relationships. These include eddy locations and properties over the course of a 7-day period, indicating the path of each eddy.

Variables stored within the datasets may be single or multi-dimensional. Where appropriate, gridded datasets are defined with Climate-Forecast (CF) Metadata conventions. Gridded data are interoperable with the CoastWatch Utilities:

NOAA CoastWatch co-gridded VIIRS SST from ACSPO

NOAA CoastWatch co-gridded VIIRS SST from ACSPO

NOAA CoastWatch co-gridded VIIRS SST products are Level 3 daily composites in compatible format and projection with other CoastWatch Level 3 sector and global products (such as CoastWatch sector VIIRS ocean color). Twenty four CoastWatch sector files mapped to equatorial projection that cover the globe (see Description tab for sector definitions) two polar stereographic sectors in 750 m nominal, native resolution and a global, 4 km resolution, single file mapped product is also available. These CoastWatch Level 3 products are generated from ACSPO L2P SST as input.

NOAA CoastWatch creates these co-gridded AVHRR SST Level 3 daily composites to be compatible in format and projection with the VIIRS Ocean Color Level 3 daily composites (Note VIIRS sector full resolution is 750m). The input for these CoastWatch Sector SST files is daily, near real time ACSPO SST for AVHRR.

These SST products are intended for users who seek AVHRR ACSPO SST data co-registered with CoastWatch ocean color data from AVHRR and are not the NOAA operational L3U ACSPO products. The CoastWatch co-gridded products are available in regional Sectors at full 1.2 kilometer AVHRR resolution and as global products at 4 km resolution. The regional products consist of 24 sectors (see Sector map below) mapped to the VIIRS ocean color sectors, and polar stereographic regions NP06 and SP06 mapped identically to the CoastWatch VIIRS ice products. The 4 km global product is also mapped identically to the corresponding CoastWatch VIIRS ocean color product.

CoastWatch Regional Sectors

These products start with the operational ACSPO L2P product (in the canonical ten-minute granule form), ingest that for CoastWatch processing, and then georegister and mask those granule-level products. The mask applied is 0xC002.That rejects pixels flagged 0x40, 0x80, and 0xC0 (anything but confident clear) and pixels flagged 0x02 (land). The L3 masked granule products are aggregated to a daily product on the same grid on the basis of the last pixel seen. The 4 km global product is created by averaging the non-null values for the pixels of the daily sector maps in a 5x5 grid.

Note: CoastWatch also distributes a gap-filled polar plus geosynchronous blended daily SST analysis product suite at 5 km resolution.
