Derivation of sea level anomaly using satellite altimeter

Satellite altimeter is the space observing technique for the oceans. During the past two decades, observations from satellite altimeters have demonstrated dramatic descriptions of sea level variability with higher spatial resolution than tide gauges. Nowadays, satellite altimeter measurements have b...
