Earth Sciences: Oceanography: Data and Information Resources: Aviso Altimetry

Description: Distributes satellite altimetry data from Topex/Poseidon, Jason-1, ERS-1 and ERS-2, and EnviSat, and Doris precise orbit determination and positioning products. These data are used to study ocean dynamics and geophysics in many applications, including climate prediction, monitoring of mean sea level, global warming, El Niño and La Niña events, marine currents and ocean circulation, and tide, wind, wave and marine meteorology models.
