SLA - Sea Level Anomalies - monomissions
Types of dataset: Monomission altimeter product
Contents: along-track corrected sea surface heights wrt reference ellipsoid
Use: stationary or long-term geophysical and ocean phenomenon studies
Description: Mono altimeter satellite product:
- "Ref" (Reference), where all corrections are stable all along the period provided. When a new correction is available, all the period is reprocessed.
Note that monomission products by definition are not intercalibrated at crossover points. Thus Jason-1 and Envisat data for example may not be homogeneous at a given point, since their orbits are different. Note also that these products are not corrected from Large Wavelength Error (LWE), unlike multimission Ssalto/Duacs products
Check monomossion processing last updates.

* The Jason-1 SLA Monomission are currently reprocessed from the new version of Jason-1 GDR-c. Users are advised that the new (incomplete) version can be downloaded from this ftp link (from cycle 233 and beyond). All cycles will be available by the end of 2009.
**The old version (cycles 1 to 232) , generated from the Jason-1 GDR-b can be downloaded from this second ftp link.
