MyOcean OSI-TAC Sea Ice and Wind products
The MyOcean OSI-TAC (Ocean and Sea Ice Thematic Assembly Center) delivers sea ice and surface wind products based on remote sensing data. The products are delivered in NetCDF format.
For MyOcean V3, 10 sets of sea ice products are delivered from the OSI TAC data Dissemination Unit at met.no via OPeNDAP and FTP to the MyOcean delivery systems (SUBSETTER and DirectGetFile); one sea ice product is delivered from the data Dissemination Unit at IFREMER via MOTU and FTP. Three sets of wind products are delivered from the data Dissemination Unit at IFREMER via MOTU and FTP.
