Global map of sea surface height. Comparison between the sea surface anomaly height maps produced by the Jason-2 (bottom) and Jason-3 (top) satellites from 12-22 February 2016. Green is normal, red/yellow is increased height, and blue/purple is decreased height. The Jason-3 satellite (2016) is a joint mission between NASA, NOAA, CNES and EUMETSAT. The successor to the Jason-2 satellite (launched in 2008), it is carrying out the Ocean Surface Topography Mission (OSTM). This allows global monitoring of tides, ocean currents and oscillations, ocean circulation, and climate change-induced rises in sea levels. The red area in the eastern equatorial Pacific (right) is due to El Nino.
