Summary
Abstract: Contents: along-track sea surface heights computed with respect to a seven-year
mean

Use: study of ocean variability (mesoscale circulation, seasonal variation, El
Niño...), including operational oceanography (near-real time products)

The data are global mono altimeter satellite products, homogeneous with other
satellites, available in near-real time and in delayed time in NetCDF format.

Access Constraints Access to Ssalto/Duacs products

Ssalto/Duacs products use Jason-1, Envisat, GFO, ERS-1, ERS-2 and
Topex/Poseidon data. File format is NetCDF, but the system also delivers images
in Postscript format (only for gridded products).

Ssalto/Duacs system delivers global and specific regional products; combined
datasets are also provided for high precision ... View entire text
Use Constraints When using Ssalto/Duacs data (NRT or DT-(M)SLA and (M)ADT), please cite: "The
altimeter products were produced by Ssalto/Duacs and distributed by Aviso, with
support from Cnes".
