TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the underlying hydrodynamic and data-assimilation design and accuracy assessment for the latest FES2014 atlas, especially for the altimetry de-aliasing purposes.

TL;DR: In 2018, the 25th year of development of radar altimetry was celebrated and the progress achieved by this methodology in the fields of global and coastal oceanography, hydrology, geodesy and cryospheric sciences as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: X-TRACK as mentioned in this paper is a post-processing software for satellite altimetry data in coastal ocean areas, which is tailored for extending the use of satellite data to coastal ocean applications and provides freely available along-track sea level anomaly time series that cover today all the coastal oceans.

TL;DR: A new global tidal model FES 2012 has been developed in 2012 taking advantage of longer altimeter time series, improved modelling and data assimilation techniques as discussed by the authors, which showed very good performances in all shallow water regions, but the validation diagnostics have also pointed out a few regions were the model tends to raise the residual variance; these problems have been partly explained by some local bathymetric issues, such as the Hudson bay for example.
