Updated 25/06/2025

Satellite altimeter data from the radar altimeter on board the joint France/US Jason-1 Mission, comprising Global (66S -> 66N) sea surface height anomalies along ground tracks which are repeated every 10 days. The dataset is approximately 622 Mb and the period covered is January 2002 to January 2004. The data was provided by JPL/NASA in the USA and has been processed at CSIRO Marine Research in Hobart to a uniform grid spacing and format. Jason-1 is the follow-on mission to TOPEX/Poseidon. Available on-line on the CSIRO Marine Research network; also available to outside users on request.
