Global Near-Real-Time Altimetry Data Viewer

Welcome to the CCAR Global Near Real-Time Sea Surface Anomly Data Viewer. This page allows you to view maps of the sea surface anomaly for any region in the global ocean (70°S to 70°N latitude). Maps are produced from Jason, TOPEX/Poseidon(T/P), Geosat Follow-On(GFO), ERS-2 and Envisat altimeter data processed in near real-time, usually within 12 to 36 hours of overflight. An analysis product is based on the latest 10 days of Jason and T/P, 17 days of GFO and 35 days of ERS-2 and Envisat sampling, if available. See Satellite Dates for more information.

This page is hosted by the Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research (CCAR) at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
