High-quality sea-surface height data less than 48 hours old are now available from the Geosat altimeter using an automated or remotely operated personal-computer-based processing system. Regional data sets include total dynamic topography (computed using the new 'synthetic' geoid method) in addition to wind speed and wave height. Satellite altimetry, which helps locate ocean fronts and eddies, is being provided to assist in various at-sea operations. Experiments are described in which real-time altimeter data have been used in conjunction with ships, aircraft, and a numerical ocean model.
