Summary

Data set consists of a time series of sea height derived from
altimeter measured on the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite from the University
of Texas at Austin Center for Space Research (UTCSR).

Data from the Joint World Meteorological
Organization/Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Technical
Commision for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology ... (JCOMM) Products
Bulletin Data Products. The organization was formally known as the
Integrated Global Ocean Services System (IGOSS) Data Products
Bulletin.
