CTOH:>20 Years of Altimeter Data
Abstract
The Center for Topography of the Oceans and Hydrosphere (CTOH) is a French Observation Service created in 1989 and dedicated to satellite altimetry studies. Its objectives are to 1) maintain and distribute homogeneous altimetric databases for ocean, hydrosphere and cryosphere applications, 2) help scientific users develop new altimetry derived products and 3) contribute to the development and validation of new processing approaches of the altimetric data for emerging research domains. This paper describes the recent developments in altimetric research at the CTOH/LEGOS, and the validation and distribution of new altimetric products.
