Short summary
This article evaluates two ocean reanalyses with spatial resolutions of 1/4° and 1/12° by comparing them with two satellite observation products, both at 1/8° resolution. The results show the added value of higher model resolution for representing mesoscale eddies and highlight the value of wide-swath satellite altimetry for model verification in the North Atlantic.
