Illustrative image: Presented this week at ESA’s Living Planet Symposium in the Czech Republic, this new map shows a month of ‘sea-level anomaly’ measurements from Sentinel-3A. The satellite has only been in orbit since 16 February 2016 and is therefore still being commissioned for service. Nevertheless, measurements made by its radar altimeter between 3 March and 2 April have been used to create this map, which shows differences in sea-surface height compared to the mean. Sea-level anomaly is the most basic altime — European Space Agency/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 3.0 igo
