Spatial Altimetry and Continental Waters
, 2016 The transfer of energy and water, as well as gaseous components, in the soil–plant–atmosphere system plays a crucial role in many processes involved in climate change. The surface energy balance drives both evapotranspiration (closely linked to the CO2 flux) and sensible heat flux.

Assessing Dynamical Contributions to SWOT Sea Surface Height in an Internal Tide Hotspot
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission has revealed high‐frequency sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) variability associated with internal gravity waves, yet comparison with in situ observations remains limited. Here, we analyze a mooring array beneath the swaths of SWOT Cal/Val south of New Caledonia, an internal tide (IT ...

Altimetry-derived surface water data assimilation over the Nile basin [PDF]
Global hydrological models facilitate studying of water resources and their variations over time. The accuracies of these models are enhanced when combined with ever-increasing satellite remotely sensed data.

Monitoring the Algerian Basin Through Glider Observations, Satellite Altimetry and Numerical Simulations During the ABACUS Projects (2014-2018) [PDF]
, 2018 The Algerian Basin is a key component of the general circulation in the Western Mediterranean Sea. The presence of both fresh Atlantic water and more saline Mediterranean water gives the basin an intense inflow/ outflow regime and complex circulation ...

Two Decades of Ross and Weddell Gyre Variability From Observations
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.Abstract The Weddell and Ross Gyres influence climate‐relevant processes including poleward heat transport, nutrient upwelling and carbon sequestration. However, long‐term tracking of changes to their circulation is limited by the sparsity of observations characteristic of the region.

The Observed Circumpolar Decline of Antarctic Bottom Water Volume
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.Abstract Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) formation is a key component of the global overturning circulation, ventilating the abyssal ocean and sequestering heat and carbon. Using a new reconstruction from the SatGEM‐2 monthly‐varying gravest empirical mode climatology, a continuous, observation‐driven circumpolar record of AABW variability is presented ...

BASIC RADAR ALTIMETRY TOOLBOX AND RADAR ALTIMETRY TUTORIAL: A NEW SET OF TOOLS FOR ALL ALTIMETRY USERS [PDF]
, 2014 Since 1991, several altimetry satellites have been launched, each satellite coming with its own, specific, data format. Moreover, high-level data were developed, using yet other formats.

Opposite Trends of Eddy Kinetic Energy in the Tropical Indo‐Pacific Ocean Since the 1990s
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.Abstract Oceanic mesoscale eddies are pivotal in redistributing mass and heat. Despite a warming‐induced increase in global oceanic stratification, previous studies have reported a global increase in mesoscale eddy activity, particularly in eddy‐rich regions, pointing to a complex and regionally contingent response to climate change.
