TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the enhancements to the gridded SLA products over the global ocean, and an extensive assessment exercise has been carried out on this data set, which allows them to establish a consolidated error budget.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present estimates of the altimetry-based global mean sea level (average variance of 3.1 +/- 0.3 mm/yr and acceleration of 0.1 mm/r2 over 1993-present), as well as of the different components of the sea level budget over 2005-present, using GRACE-based ocean mass estimates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used space gravimetry observations from GRACE to estimate the mass of the oceans and showed that recent years sea level rise can be mostly explained by an increase of the mass, which represents roughly 80% of the altimetry-based rate of sea level rises over that period.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new error budget assessment of the global Mean Sea Level (MSL) determined by TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason-1 altimeter satellites between January 1993 and June 2008 is presented using last altimeter standards.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present various data improvements achieved within the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (ESA CCI) project on "Sea Level" during its first phase (2010-2013), using multi-mission satellite altimetry data over the 1993-2010 time span.
