Scientists from the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and DOE made satellite observations, which
included sea surface height changes alongside data of ocean temperatures accumulated from 1970 to 2004.
Not exact matches
The movement of water in the ocean is determined by many factors
including tides; winds;
surface waves; internal waves, those that propagate within the layers of the ocean; and differences in temperature, salinity or
sea level
height.
Many NASA satellites observe environmental factors that are associated with El Niño evolution and its impacts,
including sea surface temperature,
sea surface height,
surface currents, atmospheric winds and ocean color.
In the case of ORAS4, this
includes ocean temperature measurements from bathythermographs and the Argo buoys, and other types of data like
sea surface height and
surface temperatures.
SLR satellite data
includes things such as the «GIA Adjustment» — which is the amount of SLR that there would have been if the ocean basin hadn't increased in volume and in the case of this new study, how much higher the
sea surface would have been if it had not been suppressed by the Mount Pinatubo volcanic eruption, another correction for ENSO / PDO «computed via a joint cyclostationary empirical orthogonal function (CSEOF) analysis of altimeter GMSL, GRACE land water storage, and Argo - based thermosteric sea level from 2005 to present», as well as other additions and adjustments — NONE OF WHICH can actually be found manifested in any change to the physical Sea Surface Height.&raq

Sea Surface Height.
Surface Height.»
Sea surface heights are influenced by ocean temperatures and winds, and so in turn reflect the overarching conditions of ocean regions,
including patterns like El Niño and La Niña.
Over the ocean this
includes:
sea surface slope and
surface current, significant wave
height, wind speed and
sea level from radar altimetry at about 10 km resolution:
sea surface temperature under cloud free conditions from the infrared radiometer at about 300 m resolution; chlorophyll a and phytoplankton from the imaging spectrometer under cloud free conditions at about 300 m resolution.
Over the
sea ice field the observations
include:
sea ice freeboard
height and hence
sea ice thickness from radar altimetry;
sea ice
surface temperature and
sea ice drift from respectively infrared radiometer and imaging spectrometer under cloud free conditions.
For more than thirty years, NASA research - driven missions, such as the EOS, have pioneered remote sensing observations of the Earth's climate,
including parameters such as solar irradiance, the Earth's radiation budget, ozone vertical profiles, and
sea surface height.
