The research team believe regularly updated images of
the seas via these satellites could enable the reduction of search areas for missing ships to just a few hundred square miles.

Difficult to study directly, aerosols are now being studied
via the
sea, which, unlike aerosols, can easily be analysed by
satellites.
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

Other skeptic arguments about
sea level concern the validity of observations, obtained
via tide gauges and more recently
satellite altimeter observations.
For example,
sea level rise has been pretty accurately monitored since the early 1990's
via satellite (calibrated against tide gauges in geologically stable locations).
Global
sea level keeps marching up at a rate of over 30 cm per century since 1992 (when global measurements
via altimetry on
satellites were made possible), and that is perhaps a better indicator that global warming continues unabated.
Zhao studied the internal waves by tracking them
via the very slight bump the waves create on the
sea surface (which he measured using NASA's record of Earth - observing
satellite data — once again proving the program's utility), and looked at how their speeds changed over time.
