TL;DR: In this paper, uncertainties in the retrieval of satellite surface chlorophyll concentrations in the Mediterranean Sea have been evaluated using both regional and global ocean colour algorithms, and the results confirmed that the OC4v4 performs worse than the two existing regional algorithms.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new 0.5° resolution Mediterranean climatology of the mixed layer depth based on individual profiles of temperature and salinity has been constructed, mainly derived by a method applied on the global (de Boyer Montegut et al., 2004 dBM04).

TL;DR: In this paper, an underestimation of about 30 W/m2 is systematically observed, confirming previous results obtained by a limited data set, indicating an inability of the bulk formulas to reproduce the infrared Mediterranean budget.

TL;DR: In the framework of the GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) MyOcean projects, funded by the European Commission, different remotely-sensed Sea Surface Temperature (SST) supercollated (L3S) and interpolated(L4) data are produced and distributed in near-real time by the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche -Istituto di Scienze dell'Atmosfera e del Clima - Gruppo di Oceanografia da Satellite (CNR) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a method is developed to estimate the required mean dynamic topography (MDT) combining oceanic observations as altimetric and in-situ measurements and outputs from an ocean general circulation model (OGCM).
