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 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.

TL;DR: SARAL/AltiKa as discussed by the authors is the first Ka-band altimetric mission dedi-cated to oceanography, which is primarily the observation of the oceanic mesoscales but also include coastal oceanography and data assimilation.

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.
