This animation shows global sea surface height anomalies every 5 days from October 1992 to January 2022 from the MEaSUREs Gridded Sea Surface Height Anomalies Version 2205. The dataset can be accessed from the PO.DAAC Portal at https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/dataset/SEA_SURFACE_HEIGHT_ALT_GRIDS_L4_2SAT.... Blue patterns show regions of low sea level anomalies while red patterns show regions of high sea level anomalies. These sea surface height grids find a variety of applications including global mean sea level and El Niño Southern Oscillation monitoring, tracking of eddies and Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) fronts, and estimating the transport of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, to name just a few.
