AVISO Merged Altimetry
AVISO Merged Altimetry
Posted January 28, 2013
Thanks to updates at NOAA OceanWatch, Voyager now provides daily, weekly, and monthly AVISO merged altimetry, replacing the previously provided Jason-1 product. This dataset merges Jason-1, Jason-2, and TOPEX/Poseidon satellite altimeters for improved measurements of sea surface height and geostrophic surface currents. For near real-time observations, it may also merge other available altimeters, such as CryoSat-2. Due to AVISO’s license constraints, these products are reported as anomalies from the 1992-2002 climatology of Niiler et al. 2003. Monthly and weekly composites are provided for the entire time period 1992 to the present while the daily data are a 30-day rolling archive of the most recently available data.
