Meet NOCSLA 🌊 @esa_cryosat's new sea level anomaly product was designed to enable ocean science and the development of operational marine applications.

The dataset comprises daily ¼° sea level anomaly of non-coastal oceans – from 60° north to 60° south – between January 2011 to October 2020. It provides a unique perspective on ocean surface levels, being based on a single mission with a novel orbit.
