Sentinel-6

Description	Sentinel-6
Platform Type	Low Earth Orbit Satellite (LEO)
Instruments	Poseidon-4
Organizations	CNES EC ESA EUMETSAT NASA NOAA
Orbital Altitude	1336 km
Orbital Inclination	66 °
Equatorial Crossing Times	Variable

Sea level Anomaly and Geostrophic Currents, multi-mission, global, optimal interpolation, gridded

Product Families	Ocean Currents Sea Surface Height

Summary	The NOAA Laboratory for Satellite Altimetry's (LSA) sea surface height team produces 0.25-degree longitude/latitude Level-3 sea level anomaly (SLA) daily datasets by applying optimal interpolation to along-track satellite observations over the global ocean from a constellation of radar altimeter missions. Theses grids are produced with near-real time (3-5 hour latency) data. Geostrophic Currents are produced from the SLA and are included in the dataset.

Along-track significant wave height, wind speed and sea level anomaly from multiple altimeters
