“During recent storms, satellites recorded ocean waves averaging nearly 20 metres high – the largest ever measured from space. Moreover, satellite data now reveal that ocean swells act as storm ‘messengers’ - even though a storm may never make landfall, its swell can travel vast distances and bring destructive energy to distant coastlines...
This record merges data from satellites such as #SARAL, #Jason3, #Copernicus #Sentinel 3A and 3B, Copernicus #Sentinel6 Michael Freilich, #CryoSat and #CFOSAT…”
