1992-2002 Mean Dynamic Ocean Topography
Mean Dynamic Ocean Topography of the sea surface derived from jointly analyzed data of drifters, satellite altimetry, wind and GRACE for the decade 1992-2002.
CONDITIONS OF USE: The data is
released for unrestricted public
use and distribution. Please acknowledge the use of the data as follows:
"The 1992-2002 mean ocean dynamic topography data has been obtained from Nikolai
Maximenko (IPRC) and Peter Niiler (SIO)."
Acknowledgments This work was sponsored by NASA grant through
the membership in the NASA Ocean Surface Topography Science Team. MDOT based on
the GRACE geoid model was kindly provided by Victor Zlotnicki (JPL). Help from Sharon
Schneider and Yoo Yin Kim is greatly appreciated.

for future updates, learn about known problems with the data, discuss the
usefulness of the data for your research or coordinate the efforts you are very
welcome to contact
Nikolai Maximenko and
Peter Niiler.
We would also appreciate having copies of your papers using this data.
