Sea Level Anomalies measured by Cryosat-2 around Arctic
Arctic Sea Level Anomalies measured by Cryosat-2 during the historical minimum of sea ice coverage on Septembre 2012. Below 66° North, the Ssalto/Duacs SLA map without Cryosat-2 (Jason-1 and Jason-2 only) data is plotted. Superimposed, the along-track track SLA from Cryosat-2 satellite (processed by the CNES processing segment and DUACS) complete the Jason-1/Jason-2 coverage to reveal the Arctic seal level uncovered from sea ice (red boundary represents the limit of the sea ice coverage).
