Short summary
Understanding ocean surface currents is essential for navigation and environmental monitoring. Traditionally, currents are estimated from satellite sea surface height using a simplified balance. We developed a new method that goes beyond this approximation, providing more accurate currents estimates. Using a model simulation, satellite observations, and drifters data, we show that these corrections become increasingly important at finer spatial scales, especially in energetic regions.
