Understanding uncertainties in the satellite altimeter measurement of coastal sea level: insights from a round-robin analysis by F. Birol, F. Bignalet-Cazalet, M. Cancet, M. Cancet, J.-A. Daguze, W. Fkaier, E. Fouchet, E. Fouchet, F. Léger, C. Maraldi, F. Niño, M.-I. Pujol, N. Tran

“…To achieve this objective, we did a round-robin analysis of radar altimetry data, testing a total of 21 solutions for waveform retracking, correcting sea surface heights and finally deriving sea level variations. Uncertainties associated with each of the components used to calculate the altimeter sea surface heights are estimated by measuring the spread of sea level values obtained using the various algorithms considered in the round-robin for this component. …”
