L2 Sea Surface Height Anomaly (SSHA) Monitoring

IPF Baseline:

E D C B A

Phase:

Operational Commissioning

Cryosat L2 data provides the Interpolated Sea Surface Height Anomaly (SSHA) (L2 field 35) for each 20Hz measurement record.

Note: that the SSHA is only calculated for the GDR-B product (Output of the second pass of the SAR processing chain). For GDR-A products, SSHA is set to zero.

Global and Polar Maps and Histograms of L2 Interpolated Sea Surface Height Anomaly (SSHA) per 30-day Cycle

Global and Polar Maps and Histograms of the L2 Sea Surface Height Anomaly (SSHA) variable are available for each 30-day cycle. SSHA from individual SIRAL modes or all modes can be shown.
