Question

topography that began in 1992 with the launch of the NASA/CNES Topex/Poseidon satellite. For
more than 53,500 orbits of our planet, Jason-1 precisely mapped sea level, wind speed, and wave
height for more than 95 percent of Earth's ice-free ocean every 10 days. The mission provided new insights into ocean circulation, tracked our rising seas, and enabled more accurate weather, ocean, and climate forecasts.
