A new dedicated coastal product is now delivered by Aviso.

Thanks to <link internal-link>Jason-2 Coastal Pistach level-2 products, it has been shown that more altimetry data are recovered in coastal areas compared to standard GDR or Aviso products (L3 subsampled and filtered SLA).
In order to provide “easy to use” coastal level-3 products (Sea Level Anomalies) to meet the needs of the scientific community, coastal sla jason-2 experimental products are proposed.
Four areas are delivered:

• <link fileadmin images data products pistach_l3 pistach_l3_agulhas.png download>Agulhas current (5 passes),
• <link fileadmin images data products pistach_l3 pistach_l3_florida.png download>Florida Strait (1 pass),
• <link fileadmin images data products pistach_l3 pistach_l3_oregon.png download>Oregon (4 passes),
• <link fileadmin images data products pistach_l3 pistach_l3_mid_atlantic_bight.png download>Mid Atlantic Bight (2 passes).

All information on the dedicated <link internal-link>page product or in the <link fileadmin documents data tools hdbk_coastal_sla_j2.pdf download>User Handbook (nomenclature, temporal availability, product generation or corrections applied, ...). The data are available through an authenticated ftp server; please fill in the <link internal-link>form by selecting the product "Coastal Jason-2 DT-SLA; few areas". Then, a user account will be sent to you. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions
