Abstract
Sea Height Anomaly (SHA) fields from the altimeter constellation are available here on a near-real time basis with a 2-day average delay. The maps shown here are generated by interpolating SHA data corresponding to a 10-day period ending on the selected date. As an additional product, geostrophic currents are also estimated using the SHA values and a climatological mean dynamic height field.
This project is partly being funded by NOAA/AOML and NOAA/CoastWatch.
