- AVISO Altimetry
- Distributes satellite altimetry data from Topex/Poseidon, Jason-1, ERS-1, ERS-2, EnviSat and Doris precise orbit determination and positioning products. Data are used to study ocean dynamics and geophysics in many applications including climate prediction, monitoring of mean sea level, global warming, El Niño and La Niña events, marine currents and ocean circulation and tide, wind, wave and marine meteorology models.
