| This satellite uses a technique called radar altimetry to measure the height of surfaces. |
| This initiative ensures access to common, up-to-date and maintained quality geospatial data for all of Canada, including altimetry data. |
| Satellite altimetry and ocean colour data provide additional data on spatial variability and upper ocean biology. |
| Moreover, altimetry data on wave heights and wind speeds are used in wave forecasting models. |
| Satellite altimetry has proved its worth in monitoring global sea-level change and will continue to be an important tool. |
| Satellite altimetry is used to identify key habitats for other marine animals, which can then be tracked and studied. |
