The Real Time Ocean Environment - Naval Research Laboratory, Stennis Space Flight Center
Overview: Near-real time altimetric sea surface anomaly, significant
wave height, and wind speed, both globally and regionally, along with
sea surface temperature analyses, numerical model assimilation results,
and inferred subsurface temperature and salinity. Products are available
as GIF images, but gridded data sets are available on request. TOPEX data
are available 24 hrs and ERS-2 48 hrs after acquisition, both as swaths.
All gridded products are available within 48 hrs. This analysis retains
the sea surface height on all scales including the annual, hence the products
are useful for large scale work or other analyses which require the complete
signal.

Uses: Visualization of ocean currents, eddies, seasons, research,
input to numerical ocean models. These products can also be used by
marine operators. Secondary and post-secondary education.
