Abstract :
The SSALTO/DUACS multiple altimeter processing system provides MERCATOR, GODAE, and climate forecasting centers with directly usable, high quality near real time altimeter data. Commercial applications for the fishery and offshore industries are also developed. An overview of the SSALTO/DUACS system is given and its main applications and users are described.
