Satellite radar altimetry provides a unique sea level data set that extends over more than 25
years back in time and that has an almost global coverage. However, when approaching the …

The Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) provides regular and
systematic reference information on the physical and biogeochemical ocean and sea-ice …

Given the considerable range of applications within the European Union Copernicus
system, sustained satellite altimetry missions are required to address operational, science …

This paper presents an assessment and comparison of recent mean sea surface (MSS)
models. Using a new approach and independent altimeter data sets, we quantify the major …

This paper reviews the recent progress in our estimation of ocean dynamic topography and
the derived surface geostrophic currents, mainly based on multiple nadir radar altimeter …

Coastal zones are highly dynamical systems affected by a variety of natural and
anthropogenic forcing factors that include sea level rise, extreme events, local oceanic and …

Marine gravity field recovery relies heavily on satellite altimetry. Thanks to the evolution of
altimetry missions and the improvements in altimeter data processing methods, the marine …

This review paper reports on the state-of-the-art concerning observations of surface winds,
waves, and currents from space and their use for scientific research and subsequent …

Being the very first SAR mode altimeter tandem phase, the Sentinel-3 A/B tandem phase
has provided an unprecedented opportunity to better characterize the sensitivity of SAR …

Radar altimeters have been measuring ocean significant wave height for more than three
decades, with their data used to record the severity of storms, the mixing of surface waters …
