摘要: Abstract The timeliness of satellite altimeter measurements has a significant effect on their value for operational oceanography. In this paper, an Observing System Experiment (OSE) approach is used to assess the quality real-time products, key issue robust monitoring and forecasting ocean state. addition, two improved geophysical corrections number missions that are combined in products also analyzed. tidal atmospheric have coastal areas (0–100 km from shore), comparison with tide gauge observations shows slightly better agreement gridded delayed-time sea level anomalies (SLAs) altimeters [Jason-1 European Remote Sensing Satellite-2 (ERS-2)/Envisat] using new (mean square differences percent variance 35.3%) than those four [Jason-1, ERS/Envisat, Ocean Topography (TOPEX)/Poseid...
