Sea Level Anomaly (SLA): SLA is the difference between sea surface height and the mean sea level. Sea surface height is the height of the sea surface observed by altimeters above a reference ellipsoid, while the mean sea level is the average sea surface over N cycles. This product is derived from data observed by the SL-TAC sensor and processed, combining data from Sentinel-3A, Jason-3, HY-2A, Saral/AltiKa, Cryosat-2, OSTM/Jason-2, Jason-1, Topex/Poseidon, Envisat, GFO, ERS-1/2. Monthly average data is obtained by averaging daily mean data. The unit is m.
