Jason-3 and Sentinel-3A Altimeter Validation Along the French Atlantic Coast in the Southern Bay of Biscay

Altimetry-derived sea surface heights (SSH) from the recently launched Jason-3 and Sentinel-3A missions were validated against records from seven tide gauges located along the French Atlantic coast in the southern Bay of Biscay. Comparisons between Jason-2 and Jason-3 based SSH were performed along-track when they were orbiting 80 seconds apart during the tandem mission that lasted more than six months. The benefits of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) acquisition mode on Sentinel-3A is compared to the classical Low Resolution Mode (LRM) on Jason-2 and 3 missions are analyzed.
