Description

Dynamic ocean topography is the sea surface height referenced from the Earth's geoid, rather than a smooth ellipse. The data contains a time mean dynamic topography. The geostrophic velocities are also included. For more information, please visit: http://grace.jpl.nasa.gov/data/get-data/dynamic-ocean-typography/.
