Mean Sea Surface
The mean sea surface (MSS) is an important field in physical oceanography, geophysics, and geodesy. In principle, it corresponds to the time-averaged height of the ocean surface.
Auxiliary product : mean sea profile above a reference ellipsoid (T/P or WSG84). This surface is available on a regular grid (1/60°x1/60°, 1 minute). Another grid provides the estimation of error fields which represent the MSS accuracy estimated through the inverse technique.

The mean sea surface (MSS) is an important field in physical oceanography, geophysics, and geodesy. In principle, it corresponds to the time-averaged height of the ocean surface.
Auxiliary product : mean sea profile above a reference ellipsoid (T/P or WSG84). This surface is available on a regular grid (1/60°x1/60°, 1 minute). Another grid provides the estimation of error fields which represent the MSS accuracy estimated through the inverse technique.

Use: geodesy, geophysics, oceanography (operational oceanography, modeling, ocean variability studies)
Description : product for 20-year reference period (1993-2012), based 29 years of altimetry data (mean profiles, geodetic mission and SLA) Topex/poseidon, ERS-2, GFO, Jason-1,Jason-2, Jason-3, Envisat, SARAL/AltiKa, Cryosat-2, Sentinel-3A&B. The use of several missions requires to readjust all missions between them. Thus, a reference mission is chosen and other missions are adjusted with this latest.
Geographic coverage: global (from 79.4°S to 88°N)
