Title:
Sea Surface Height Anomalies during El Nino/La Nina Event of 1997-1998 (WMS)
Instrument:
TOPEX/Poseidon
Description:
Color bar showing sea surface height anomalies ranging from -30cm (-12in) below normal (blue areas) to 30 cm (12 in) above normal (red areas).
Abstract:
The El Nino/La Nina event in 1997-1999 was particularly intense, but was also very well observed by satellites and buoys. Changes in the normal height of the ocean's surface were observed by the TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter.
