While the validation and calibration of HY-2 series satellites have been well studied, using both in situ and cross-track measurements, further evaluation is required of HY-2 series satellites mapping capability on mesoscale eddies. In this study, we conducted two groups of pseudo-observations obtained by ocean models output at positions and times of the satellite along ground tracks. The two altimetry satellite combinations are the Jason-3+Sentinel-3A\/B configuration (reference group) and the Jason-3+Sentinel-3A\/B+HY-2B\/C\/D configuration (evaluation group). Three regions at different latitudes were selected as the study areas. Then, we gridded the satellite along ground tracks into synthetic SSH products for each satellite configuration group. Finally, the attributes of mesoscale eddies extracted from gridded products were analyzed to evaluate the mapping capability of HY-2 series satellites. Our results suggest that the gridded products of evaluation groups are more similar to model data compared to reference groups, with a maximum difference reduced by 23%. In terms of eddy identification, the evaluation groups using HY-2 series satellites can alleviate eddy incorrect estimation and add more details to the spatial distribution of eddy radius and amplitude. Additionally, the evaluation groups displayed better performance in mesoscale eddy detection, with a maximum enhancement of 14% and 16% in eddy recognition rate and accuracy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14174262","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,30]],"date-time":"2022-08-30T01:37:55Z","timestamp":1661823475000},"page":"4262","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Evaluation of HY-2 Series Satellites Mapping Capability on Mesoscale Eddies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Fangjie","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Science and Engineering, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China"},{"name":"Qingdao National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology, Qingdao 266200, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2531-5792","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juanjuan","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Science and Engineering, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China"}]},{"given":"Yongjun","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Satellite Ocean Application Service, Beijing 100081, China"}]},{"given":"Ge","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Science and Engineering, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266100, China"},{"name":"Qingdao National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology, Qingdao 266200, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1697","DOI":"10.1175\/JTECH-D-20-0001.1","article-title":"An Adaptive Optimal Interpolation Based on Analog Forecasting: Application to SSH in the Gulf of Mexico","volume":"37","author":"Zhen","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
