Mixed Layer Thickness/Depth (MLD): The process of air-sea flux changes and the stirring of wind and waves lead to the formation of a water layer near the ocean surface with a certain thickness and uniform temperature, known as the ocean mixed layer. These products are generated from the Mercator Ocean GLORYS2V4 reanalysis data provided by CMEMS. The reanalysis system is based on the 3.1 version of the NEMO ocean model, and the data assimilation method relies on a reduced-order Kalman filter based on the SEEK formula. Monthly average products are obtained by averaging daily mean products. The unit is m.
