AVISO stands for "Archiving, Validation and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic data". Here, you will find data, articles, news and tools to help you discover or improve your skills in the altimetry domain through four key themes: ocean, coast, hydrology and ice. Altimetry is a technique for measuring height. Satellite altimetry measures the time taken by a radar pulse to travel from the satellite antenna to the surface and back to the satellite receiver. Combined with precise satellite location data, altimetry measurements yield sea-surface heights.
The WDCGG archives measurement data for greenhouse and related gases in the atmosphere and the ocean (58 gaseous species as of 24 May 2021). The data are classified into five categories according to the observation platforms or methods used. Air observation at stationary platform (surface) Vertical profile observation of air (tower) Air observation by aircraft (aircraft) Hydrographic sampling or observation of surface seawater and overlying air by ships (ship) Satellite observations (satellite)
