SSH and SST - Pacific Ocean

Watch the Jason-3 Mission Briefing from Friday, Jan 15, 2016 - panelists gave an overview of the Jason-3 mission.

Fathoming the forces that determine global sea levels can be daunting. We present a guide to the basics of ocean surface topography.

This animation illustrates the evolution of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies (relative to the respective normal state) in the Pacific Ocean associated with the 2015-2016 El Niño.

One of the best ways to understand Earth's ocean is from the perspective of space.

Recorded live launch broadcast of Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich

NASA and its U.S. and international partners have teamed up to launch a new Earth-observing satellite called Sentinel-6B that will measure sea surface height of most of the planet’s ocean. These ob...

Experts from NASA, ESA, EUMETSAT, and NOAA discuss the upcoming launch of Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich in a recorded live broadcast

Earth’s global sea levels are rising – and are doing so at an accelerating rate.
