Abstract

The advent of satellite altimeter missions and continuous data improvements has allowed an important scientific progress in the oceanography research field, particularly on large-scale ocean processes and circulations. Beginning with the first altimetry experiment in May 1973 that provided a general information on large-scale dynamics of the ocean, the advance in technology and processing in regional seas and near coasts has made possible detection and better characterization of mesoscale and small-scale features (e.g., eddies, boundary current, coastal upwelling, and sea-level rise).
