This project is developing a processing system and data center to provide operational ocean surface velocity fields from satellite altimeter and vector wind data. The method to derive surface currents with satellite altimeter and scatterometer data is the outcome of several years NASA sponsored research. The project will transition that capability to operational oceanographic applications. The end product is velocity maps updated daily, with a goal for eventual 2-day maximum delay from time of satellite measurement. Grid resolution is 100 km for the basin scale, and finer resolution in the vicinity of the Pacific Islands.
