Radar Altimeter Database System (RADS)

The Radar Altimeter Database System (RADS) is an effort of the Department of Earth Observation and Space Systems (DEOS) at TU Delft and the NOAA Laboratory for Satellite Altimetry to establish a harmonized, validated, and cross-calibrated sea level data base from satellite altimeter data. The RADS data base aims at users at both expert level like geoscientists and entry level, like advisory councils, water management authorities, teachers, and students.
