Improved Surface Currents from Altimeter-Derived and Sea Surface Temperature Observations: Application to the North Atlantic Ocean and intercomparison of the OSTIA L4 NRT and REP Products

Daniele Ciani, CNR-ISMAR

Daniele Ciani, Physical Oceanographer, is a researcher at the Institute of Marine Sciences of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR-ISMAR). He received a M.Sc. in Physics at the University of Rome “Sapienza” (Rome, Italy) and a Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography at Université de Bretagne Occidentale (Brest, France). Daniele’s research interests include ocean mesoscale/submesoscale dynamics, satellite Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and ocean surface currents remote sensing. SST studies are primarily focused on the characterization of ocean surface currents from dynamical and/or AI-based algorithms, SST diurnal warming and the development of future satellite missions for the SST retrieval.
