A new animation shows how global sea levels have risen more than 80 mm (3.15 inches) over the past three decades. The animation compares global sea levels measured by NASA satellites and those reconstructed using NASA's latest global ocean reanalysis from the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) project. Besides showing total sea level rise, the ECCO reanalysis also shows its two main components: seawater expansion from ocean warming (stereodynamic) and increased ocean volume from melting glaciers and ice sheets (barystatic).

Along Track Sea Surface Height Anomaly data from Sentinel-6 MF are shown with rolling 10-day coverage in daily increments from December 7, 2020 to September 24, 2021. Data shown in the animation are from the “Sentinel-6 MF Jason-CS L2 P4 Altimeter Low Resolution (LR) NRT Ocean Surface Topography” product, which is accessible on the PO.DAAC Web Portal: https://doi.org/10.5067/S6AP4-2LSNR (DOI:10.5067/S6AP4-2LSNR). Note: At this time data prior to June 22, 2021 are subject to reprocessing in early 2022.

Animation of the Multi-Mission Optimally Interpolated Sea Surface Salinity (OISSS) 7-Day level 4 global dataset based on the AQUARIUS/SAC-D, SMAP and SMOS level 2 mission data. SMOS is used to fill in the SMAP data gap in 2019 due to safe mode. The dataset covers the period from September 2011 to the present, and is produced at the International Pacific Research Center (IPRC) of the University of Hawaii at Manoa in collaboration with the Remote Sensing Systems (RSS), Santa Rosa, California.

Animation of the estimated ocean surface latent (top) and sensible (bottom) heat fluxes over the period of 1 August 2018 to 31 March 2021, produced using the CYGNSS Level 2 Ocean Surface Heat Flux Climate Data Record Version 1.1, which provides the time-tagged and geolocated ocean surface heat flux parameters with 25 x 25 kilometer resolution using wind speed data provided by the Delay Doppler Mapping Instrument (DDMI) aboard the CYGNSS satellite constellation. The dataset can be accessed from the PO.DAAC Portal at https://doi.org/10.5067/CYGNS-C2H11 (DOI: 10.5067/CYGNS-C2H11).
