GLOBAL OCEAN ALONG-TRACK SEA LEVEL ANOMALIES REPROCESSED (1993-ONGOING)

Purpose

For the Global Ocean- Mono altimeter satellite along-track sea surface heights computed with respect to a twenty-year mean. All the missions are homogenized with respect to a reference mission which is currently Jason-2. This product is computed with an optimal and centered computation time window (6 weeks before and after the date).
