Mercator Global Ocean Physics - 1-Hourly Sea Surface Salinity and Temperature

This dataset provides 1-hourly global surface ocean fields: sea surface salinity and sea surface temperature , generated by the Mercator Ocean model (GLOBAL_ANALYSISFORECAST_PHY_001_024) at ~1/12° horizontal resolution. The data are made available as WMTS layers via the Copernicus Marine Service and support multiple CRS projections.
