Satellite Altimetry

Satellite altimetry enables us to measure the height of the ocean for the entire planet over a period of days, and from the humps and bumps coupled with the atmospheric pressure, derive the drivers of large-scale circulations. (Allen and Allen 2019)

Using space-based technologies to monitor global sea level changes

Sea-level rise is a key indicator of climate change and accurately monitoring it is essential for climate science, policy-making, and protecting low-lying regions at risk. Satellite remote sensing has become an efficient tool for surveying sea level change at global and regional scales. TOPEX/Poseidon, a series of modern high-precision ocean altimeter satellites marks the beginning of the satellite altimeter era. Presently, Jason-CS/Sentinel-6 is the new advanced generation of high-precision altimeters. The application of satellite altimetry can be used to measure sea surface topography with high accuracy and reliability and further to support ocean forecasting systems, environmental monitoring and climate monitoring. The Jason-CS/Sentinel-6 satellites will extend the satellite data record through at least 2030, providing a nearly 40-year record of sea-level data.

Database for Hydrological Time Series of Inland Waters

The Database for Hydrological Time Series of Inland Waters (DAHITI) was developed by the Deutsches Geodätisches Forschungsinstitut der Technischen Universität München (DGFI-TUM) in 2013 to provide water level time series of inland waters. Today, DAHITI provides a variety of hydrologial information such as water levels, surface areas and volume variations on lakes, reservoirs, rivers, and wetlands derived from satellite data, i.e. from multi-mission satellite altimetry and optical remote sensing imagery.
