FLSE data are compared to surface drifter data over the different Mediterranean basins, showing different surface flow dispersion regimes

The Pantanal area experiences a very severe drought. Altimeters can measure such variations along their tracks.

Altimetry wave heights can be used to validate models assessing the coastal impact of a storm.

Swot will be the first of its kind. To help in developping all the necessary tools and algorithms, teams are generating proxy data for hydrology in particular

Altimetry brought a better knowledge of tides all around the world. Even now, they are used in various contexts, including to better understand some general ocean circulation phenomena.

Altimetry-derived water levels over lake Chad show a general stability of its two basins for the past 20 years, after the dramatic decrease of the 70s & 80s

Swot will enable to retrieve both waterlines and their elevation over intertidal areas, ecologically sensitives and ever-changing zones.

The terrestrial crust moves around its geometrical center. This motion is smaller than the size of a cherry, but can be monitored using satellites and Doris

Combining altimetry heights and filaments with in situ data from marine animals'dive, the in-depth structure of a dynamic region such as the Kerguelen Island is better understood.
