The main objective of the Round Robin study we have conducted is the comparison of various algorithms for the generation of sea level anomaly (SLA) data from Low Resolution Mode (LRM) altimetry in coastal zones. We have evaluated 21 algorithms at global scale and for three regions for both Jason-2 and Jason-3 missions (when possible). Finally, the total number of inter-comparison diagnostics reach several hundred. They are all available by following the links provided in the Table provided below. All the diagnostics linked to the evaluation of the same SLA component are classified per altimetry mission: they are grouped in a report. An evaluation report has been made for the global coastal zone and for each of the three regions. There is an additional report concerning the evaluation of a more complete set of tidal models.
