NASA/GSFC PATHFINDER Ocean altimeter data

SSH Anomalies Overview: A long time series of global sea level data, processed with stable calibration and community consensus algorithms from all altimetric satellites (Seasat, Geosat, ERS-1,-2, and TOPEX/Poseidon). It provides a geodetically consistent data set for climate research. Data are available as 1Hz colinear sea surface height anomalies and 10 day or monthly gridded fields, both in CD-ROM and by FTP, about 2 months after acquisition. Details of the data processing procedures and a validation of the data sets against a global network of high quality tide gauge measurements are provided in two NASA Technical Memorandums.
