Short summary
Different satellites, ocean floats and model reanalysis products record sea surface height, temperature, salt content and winds, but each archive stores its data differently, so combining them is tedious and time consuming. We therefore combine these data sources into a consistent collection, so that data retrieval across sources becomes easier. Ocean studies are consequently easier to reproduce and compare, and hopefully support research and better understanding of ocean and climate processes.
