[ecco-support] Question about ECCOv4r3 data

[Maike Sonnewald - NOAA Affiliate]

Hi all,

I am looking at some of the ECCOv4r3 data from the portal, and was
wondering if there is a publication/notes detailing what the different
fields are exactly?

For example: what exactly does ''Geometry-Weighted'' mean? What value is
used for 'rhoConst'?

  NVEL                              North-South Comp. of Velocity (m/s)
  NVELMASS                          North-South *Geometry-Weighted*
Comp of Velocity (m/s)
  RHOAnoma                          Density Anomaly (=Rho-*rhoConst*) (kg/m^3)


Thanks very much!

Best wishes,
Maike
