The Leeuwin Current

Created 24/06/2025

Updated 24/06/2025

Satellite altimetry, a regional geoid model and the CARS climatology model were used to study the Leeuwin Current offshore Western Australia. Re-tracking is needed to get the best sea-surface heights close to the coasts and geoid models are still in need of refinement.
