Summary

Abstract: Altimeter data and visualizations are available in near real-time at the
Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research (CCAR) at the University of Colorado
at Boulder. The data from the TOPEX/Poseidon and ERS-2 satellites are blended
together for monitoring mesoscale circulation variability of such oceanic
features as fronts and eddies. The data and maps cover the global oceans as
well as selected ...
