Geosat in the first altimeter satellite used for long-term, continuous monitoring of sea level. Since its launch in 1985, we have been using the data to study connections between the ocean and atmosphere in the tropical Pacific. In early 1987, shortly after the onset of the 1986-87 El Nino, we began processing these data in near-real time (1 to 2 weeks after acquisition) to monitor sea level during this interesting climatic event. An operational NOAA program of monthly sea-level monitoring has evolved that encompasses all three tropical oceans.
