JASON-1  

Definition

  • Jason maps ocean surface topography. The data collected provide information on ocean surface current velocity and heights which, when combined with ocean models, can lead to a four-dimensional description of ocean circulation. Data from Jason are also extending ocean surface topography into the 21st century, providing a 5-year view of global ocean surface topography, increasing understanding of ocean circulation, improving forecasting of climate events, and measuring global sea-level change.
