Description

The dataset contains satellite-derived sea-surface height measurements collected by means of the TOPEX/Poseidon/ERS, JASON-1/Envisat, and Jason-2/Envisat satellite sensors. The data is collected twice a week, and is available at weekly and monthly intervals at a spatial resolution of approximately 0.25 degrees. The geographic coverage is global, and the temporal coverage ranges from 1992-present. The data is combined with a Niiler Climatology (Niiler et al., 1994) and geostrophic currents (u and v components) are mathematically derived.
