[ecco-support] Stokes drift in ECCO2 product

[Maxime Mouyen]

Dear Ecco team,


Does it make sense to add Stokes drift velocities (wind-correlated drift of surface waters) to the ECCO2 surface velocity? Or does ECCO2 already account for such effects?

(I'm using these products: https://ecco.jpl.nasa.gov/drive/files/ECCO2/cube92_latlon_quart_90S90N/WVEL.nc, VVEL.nc and UVEL.nc)


I read<https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2018JC014453> that the MITgcm used in ECCO2 "does not include representation of surface waves" but I cannot make clear if the ECCO2 products mentioned above are subsequently forced by winds.


Thanks for your help on this matter and for providing such useful products.


Best regards,

Maxime
