Wind/wave products

Altimeter data are also used to compute Significant Wave Heights (SWH) and wind velocity. Those parameters are obtained by analyzing the shape and intensity of the altimeter radar beam reflected from the sea surface (radar echo).

Near-Real Time

Gridded Wind/Wave

NRT-MWind/NRT-MSWH
Gridded (1°x1°) significant wave height and wind speed modulus 

Along-track Wind/Wave

OSDR
along-track significant wave height and wind speed modulus.

Delayed Time

Along-track Wind/Wave

DT-CorSSH
along-track corrected sea surface heights above reference ellipsoid, with corrections, significant wave heights and backscatter coefficient.

Along-track Wind/Wave

GDR, RA2WWV
along-track significant wave height and wind speed modulus.
