World Ocean Circulation Experiment Global Data V3.0 Sea Level - Fast Return

Brief description

The World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) was a part of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) which used resources from nearly 30 countries to make unprecedented in-situ and satellite observations of the global ocean between 1990 and 1998 and to observe poorly-understood but important physical processes. This dataset provides in situ sea level data collected for "fast delivery" using coastal tide gauges only. The "fast delivery" method provided rapid access to data for those involved in satellite altimetry during WOCE. Data covers the period between 1985 and the end of 2001.
