New version of SEAScope available
2025-07-09 Viewer and Python bindings update
by Sylvain Herlédan
This update fixes some issues with the rendering of high resolution data, discrepancies between data and configuration files, etc… and makes the aspect of streamlines more consistent around the globe (changes are listed at the end of this news).
As always, don't hesitate to contact us by email (seascopenobotplease oceandatalab.com) if you have any question, an idea for a new feature that the tool is missing, or a comment on SEAScope :)
Sentinel-1C SAR-C (roughness), Sentinel-3A/-3B sigma0, AMSR-2 sea ice concentration from Bremen University, geostrophic current streamlines from CMEMS
