The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Gridded 5-day mean sea surface height anomaly and significant waveheight from Jason-1 and OSTM/Jason-2 satellites (NODC Accession 0065055) |
| Abstract: | This accession contains the gridded 5-day mean sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) and Ku Band significant waveheight (SWH-KU) observed from Jason-1 and OSTM/Jason-2 satellites. This dataset has been generated in near-real time during the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Event in order to provide users a quick view on the sea level change and wave activity in the Gulf regions though it is under a global coverage. All the observations within 5 days are interpolated into 0.25 longitude degree and 0.25 latitude degree uniform grid. The OSTM/Jason-2 observations are picked from Interim Geophysical Data Records (IGDR) which is archived under NODC AMS accession 0043269 at http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/search/prod/accessionsView.pl/details/43269 The Jason-1 satellite IGDR data are selected from PO.DAAC, JPL/NASA at ftp://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/sea_surface_height/jason/igdr_ssha_netcdf/data/. Above original data have been processed, gridded, visualized and finally converted into NetCDF format by scientists in NODC's satellite oceanography group. The data time period in this accession has been updated to August 8, 2010 in the latest version. |
