The oceanographic altimeter satellites of the Jason series have been collecting high accuracy measurements of the global ocean's topography since early 1990s, providing a continuous data record of the ocean's response to climate change, especially sea level rise. They also measure topography of inland waters, which is important for understanding droughts and floods. The Jason series satellites have been developed and operated by a broad collaboration of US and European institutions including NASA, CNES, NOAA, EUMETSAT, and ESA. The latest iteration, two identical Jason-CS/Sentinel-6 satellites, is part of the European Union's Copernicus Programme.
