I INTRODUCTION
I.1 Summary
This guide describes the data product files from the GLO-CLS-TOULOUSE-FR PU, what data services are available to access them, and how to use the files and services.
The product described here is GLOBAL_REP_PHYS_001_013 product. It contains two datasets (dataset-armor-3d-rep-weekly-v3-1-myocean, dataset-armor-3d-rep-monthly-v3-1-myocean): delayed time global 3D temperature, salinity, geopotential height and geostrophic current fields defined on a 1/4° regular grid, from the surface down to 5500-m depth at a weekly period and at a monthly period.
Those products are a combination between satellite and in-situ data, processed in three steps:
(1) satellite data (SLA + SST) are projected onto the vertical via a multiple linear regression method and covariances deduced from historical observations. This step gives synthetical fields,
(2) combination between these synthetic fields with T/S in-situ profiles via an optimal interpolation method. This leads to combined fields.
(3) use of the thermal wind equation to combine absolute geostrophic current fields from satellite altimetry with the combined 3D T/S fields. This last step generates global 3D geostrophic current fields.

IV.5 Processing
IV.5.1 Input data
Five sources of data are used:
- In-situ T and S profiles are from the IN-SITU TAC including Argo profiling floats, XBT, CTD and moorings;
- ARV11 climatology computed at ifremer (http://wwz.ifremer.fr/lpo/SO-Argo/Products/Global-Ocean-T-S/ARV11-climatology)
- Altimeter sea level anomalies (SLA) are from CMEMS (SL TAC – SEALEVEL_GLO_SLA_MAP_L4_REP_OBSERVATIONS_008_027) and are weekly combined maps of all processed altimeters
- Mean Dynamic Topography CNES-CLS13.
- SST data are from daily Reynolds analyses with a 1/4° horizontal resolution, combining AVHRR and in-situ observations (no more AMSR since October 2011) and distributed by the National Climatic Data Center at NOAA (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/sst/oi-daily.php).
IV.5.2 Method
For the temperature (T) and salinity (S) fields available in near real time and in delayed time, the method used has been first developed using simulated data sets [RD 1] and has two steps [RD 8].
The first step of the method consists in deriving synthetic temperature (T) profiles from the surface down to 1500-meter depth from altimeter and SST data through a multiple linear regression method and covariances calculated from historical data. For synthetic salinity (S) profiles, the method uses only altimeter data. Pre-processing of altimeter SLA includes the extraction of the steric part of the SLA using regression coefficients deduced from an altimeter/in-situ comparison study [RD 2, RD 3].
The second step of the method consists in combining the synthetic profiles with in-situ temperature and salinity profiles using an optimal interpolation method [RD 4]. To gain maximum benefit from the qualities of both data sets, namely the accurate information given by in-situ T/S profiles and the mesoscale variability given by the T/S synthetic profiles, a precise statistical description of the errors of these observations has been introduced in the optimal interpolation method. For the in-situ profiles, since these observations are considered almost perfect, a very low white noise is applied. For the synthetic profiles, simulating remote-sensing (altimeter and SST) observations, since these observations are not direct measurements but are derived from the regression method, correlated errors have to be applied to correct long-wavelength errors or biases present in the synthetic fields and introduced by the regression method.

Analyses are performed in near real time and in delayed time at a weekly period on each Levitus vertical level from the surface down to 1500-meter depth.
An example of the input and output fields is given on Figure 1 for the 4th of July 2010. Thanks to the
mesoscale structures available in the altimetry and SST fields, the synthetic estimate shows also mesoscale structures in most part of the ocean with T anomalies ranging from -2 to 2 °C at 100-meter depth (Figure 1). The combination of the synthetic estimates with all available in-situ temperature allows correcting the field in some regions like in the North-East Indian Ocean where the in-situ temperature are much colder than the synthetic ones. Amplitudes of the combined fields are thus more similar to the in-situ observations but with still small scale structure.
The T/S fields are completed from 1500 to 5500 meter depth using the T/S climatology. Geopotential height and geostrophic current fields are additionally available. They are calculated using the thermal wind equation with a reference level at the surface to combine absolute current fields at the surface from satellite altimetry with the combined T/S fields [RD 6]. The surface currents are calculated by geostrophy from SLA and MDT CNES-CLS13. As the CNES-CLS13 Mean Dynamic Topographies used to calculate the absolute current fields at the surface are not defined for the Black and Red Seas [RD 7], the 3D geostrophic current fields are also not defined for those areas.

V FILE FORMAT
V.1 Netcdf
The products are stored using the NetCDF format.
NetCDF (network Common Data Form) is an interface for array-oriented data access and a library that provides an implementation of the interface. The netCDF library also defines a machine-independent format for representing scientific data. Together, the interface, library, and format support the creation, access, and sharing of scientific data. The netCDF software was developed at the Unidata Program Center in Boulder, Colorado.
Please see Unidata netCDF pages for more information, and to retrieve netCDF software package.
NetCDF data is:
* Self-Describing. A netCDF file includes information about the data it contains.
* Architecture-independent. A netCDF file is represented in a form that can be accessed by computers with different ways of storing integers, characters, and floating-point numbers.
* Direct-access. A small subset of a large dataset may be accessed efficiently, without first reading through all the preceding data.
* Appendable. Data can be appended to a netCDF dataset along one dimension without copying the dataset or redefining its structure. The structure of a netCDF dataset can be changed, though this sometimes causes the dataset to be copied.
* Sharable. One writer and multiple readers may simultaneously access the same netCDF file.
