Is the data for SA and SSA different from that in Figure 4 of paper #25

Reference paper: FES2014 global ocean tide atlas: design and performance The data in Figure 4 shows max of 0.11m for SA and 0.042m for SSA component, But the data in the sa.nc and ssa.nc files of this github dataset has a much smaller values (i.e., 0.043 and 1.78) with label of unit as 'cm'.

Could you please help check what might be the reason for the difference? Thank you very much.

The file included in the distribution is not the official version of FES2014, but a very old version FES99. You need to download the atlas from the AVISO website
