Abstract
AbstractWith the success of the Sentinel‐6 Michael Freilich satellite, the satellite radar altimetry record of sea level has now surpassed 30 years in length. This reference satellite mission has continued uninterrupted alongside a significant expansion of the satellite sea‐level observing network in the past decade. This expansion was punctuated by the launch of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission in December 2022, which will bring higher resolution measurements of sea level closer to the shore than ever before. Here, we take stock of where we are now in terms of using satellites to measure sea level, and what is still needed to address the growing need of those living along the coast for information to support planning and adaptation efforts.
