Available variables
Please note that some of the variables marked as ongoing may be updated with a delay of several months. As such, the most recent data is not always available. In these cases, there are often other datasets that provide these data for the most recent months or years.
Note
If you want to use Copernicus data, you must create a Copernicus account here, then install the Copernicus Marine Toolbox, and finally type copernicusmarine login in your terminal to set it up.
Note
If you want to use FSLE data, you need to save your Aviso+ credentials in a .netrc file as explained (here).
