Introduction

This Web page provides access to global near-real-time altimeter data from the TOPEX/Poseidon and ERS-2 satellites. Tandem observations of the earth's oceans by altimeters aboard these two satellites are being processed and posted within 18 hours of overflight. More details on the processing will be added in the near future. For now, these data products are accessable through the links provided in this document.
