Over recent years the ocean topography satellite have been added more resolution and accuracy with the Sentinel-3 Satellites.

This improvement is going to be more important with the Sentinel-6 in 2020 and SWOT in 2021.

Here we show the accuracy and resolution improvement in the Australian region, the calibration and validation system and results and study the impact on global and regional sea level.
