TL;DR: In the early 1990s, the combination of data available from two simultaneous flying altimeters has resulted in a time-series record of global maps of ocean eddies, which provided an opportunity to study the temporal and spatial variability of the surface signatures of eddies at a level of detail previously unavailable as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, satellite altimetry is used to study the propagation pathways of warm and cold ocean eddies in different ocean basins, and the case studies show that simple theories for vortex propagation on a βplane work in regions where energetic eddies propagate though a weak background flow.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used historical hydrographic profiles combined with recent Argo profiles to obtain an estimate of the mean geostrophic circulation in the Southern Ocean, and analyzed the position of the two main fronts of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the issues being addressed by the SWOT science community to understand SWOT's very precise SSH / surface pressure observations, and explore how SWOT data will be combined with other satellite and in-situ data and models to better understand the upper ocean 4D circulation.

TL;DR: In this article, a technique is presented for resolving both magnitude and direction of residual surface geostrophic velocities at Geosat altimeter crossover points; providing a two-year time series with a temporal resolution of 17 days and horizontal resolution of around 100 km.
