Submesoscale processes occur over spatial scales ranging from hundreds of meters to tens of kilometers. Impacts of these processes are manifested at the scale of days to weeks and can even have implications for long term climate. Satellite data offers a unique perspective to observe these processes and their impacts at suitable scales in terms of their physical and biological signatures.

EUMETSAT offers a diverse suite of ocean products, made available through mandatory missions, the Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Applications Facility (OSI SAF) and via the Copernicus Programme. Many of these products are available at spatial and temporal resolutions that support the study of physical and biogeochemical submesoscale processes. Here we present an overview of available data and how to access and work with it. We provide some example case studies showing how the data can be applied in regions that present a particular interest. Links will be provided to examples of the case studies, available as Python-based Jupyter Notebooks. For users who are interested in these data sources, we will also provide information on additional user support and further training opportunities that will be offered through the EUMETSAT Copernicus Marine Training Service.
