Dataset Card: OceanTACO
Dataset Summary
This dataset is a multi-source collection of global ocean sea surface measurements, integrating numerical model reanalysis, satellite observations (Level 3 and Level 4), and in-situ data. The collection includes sea surface height (SSH), temperature (SST), salinity (SSS), wind, and other variables.
The L3 SWOT data has been processed onto a consistent regular grid through irreversible interpolation and coordinate transformation, constituting a Derivative Work from the original AVISO+ source products. This processing removes the original swath/pixel structure and creates a fundamentally different data representation.
Dataset Format
- Grid: Regular
- Format: NetCDF-4

Used under the AVISO+ License (Issue 19, February 2024). Key terms:
- Permitted: Creation and distribution of Derivative Works for any purpose, including commercial use
- Prohibited: Redistribution of AVISO+ products in their original form
- This dataset qualifies as a Derivative Work because the SWOT L3 data has been irreversibly modified through regridding onto a new coordinate system, removing the original pixel/swath structure

Technical Notes on Derivative Work Status
The SWOT L3 data included in this dataset has undergone the following irreversible transformations that qualify it as a Derivative Work under the AVISO+ license:
- Coordinate transformation: Original swath-based coordinates converted to a regular lat/lon grid
- Spatial interpolation: Data resampled using binned linear interpolation
- Structure modification: Original pixel/pass structure removed; data reorganized by time and geographic location
These modifications mean the original AVISO+ data cannot be reconstructed from this dataset.
