Welcome to Mercator Ocean oceanographic indicators area
Images of oceanographic forecasting
Mercator Ocean allows you to check the evolution of the ocean state with synthetic dedicated products. Those products exist for different variables and regions.
The evolution of these variables can impact marine ecosystems and important meteorologic phenomena (tropical cyclons, El nino...) and in the long term, climate change.
Sea surface temperature
|
Sea surface temperature is directly proportional to the energy exchanged between the ocean and the atmosphere. |
Sea surface salinity
|
Sea surface salinity is a sign of the thermohaline circulation process of the surface layer and water cycle. |
Heat content
|
Heat content represents the calorific energy available in the ocean. |
