6 User requirements in the coastal zone! a necessary preamble to this work is a quantification of the requirements for accuracy and long-term stability for climatequality observations of sea level in the coastal zone! This was done by a survey carried out by NOC! we asked altimeter specialists, i.e. experts of the processing and/or analysis of altimetric data, drawn from the International Coastal Altimetry Community and from 14 different countries!
7 Survey the questionnaire! Coastal Sea Level Questionnaire v1. Apr 214 Coastal Sea Level Questionnaire v1. Apr 214 A short questionnaire on Requirements+for+climate1quality+monitoring+ of+coastal+sea+level+from+satellite+altimetry+ Prepared by Paolo Cipollini, National Oceanography Centre, UK, cipo@noc.ac.uk for the ESA Sea Level CCI Project, Phase 2 WP1 Why this questionnaire? Within Phase 2 of the ESA Sea Level CCI Project there is a specific task to update the User Requirements for climate-quality monitoring of sea level from satellite altimetry. Phase 1 of the project had summarized the requirements from different sources (including GCOS, WMO/WCRP, GOOS, OSTST, the Coastal Altimetry Community and the CCI s Climate Modelling User Group) in the following table 1 : Synthesis of target sea level requirements from Sea Level CCI phase 1. Observable Horizontal Temporal Accuracy Long-term Stability resolution resolution Global mean sea level Global mean one orbital cycle mm Decadal scale: <.3 mm/y Annual scale: <.5 mm/y Regional sea 5-1km weekly 1 cm < 1 mm/y level Mesoscale 15 km daily.5 cm (No strong requirements) One issue that requires a dedicated focus in Phase 2 is the coastal zone. The purpose of this questionnaire targeted to altimetry specialist and expert users of altimetry data is to help us to define specific requirements for altimetry in the coastal zone, in terms of: - Accuracy: congruence of the single value ( single = averaged over one space and time grid cell ) to the true value - Long-term stability: consistency over time of the instrument calibration and corrections Note that the requirements in question are those for climate applications i.e. where one uses repeated observations to derive some statistical properties of the phenomena. A simple example to illustrate this concept: a one-off observation of some extreme event does not belong to the climate category; 1 The full User Requirement Document that this table is taken from is available at 2 Individual global mean sea level values are obtained by geographically averaging sea surface heights measured over the ocean during an orbital cycle (1 days for Topex and Jason satellites; 35 days for ERS and Envisat). To reach a 2-4 mm accuracy, individual (1Hz) sea surface height measurements must be accurate to 1-2 cm. +and+then+just+a+few+questions:+please+answer+them+based+on+ your+own+experience.+ Note that for each question you are asked to specify TWO values: a THRESHOLD value ( = the MINIMUM value that makes that parameter usable for at least one climate application) a TARGET value ( = a nice-to-have value that will enable a fuller range of applications TARGET values should be STRINGENT but REALISTIC at the same time!) Let us first focus on a LOCAL product, i.e. sea level on a single grid cell in the coastal zone (say a 15 km x 15 km stretch along the coast) and with a time resolution (i.e. time average) of ONE MONTH. Q1) What level of ACCURACY of LOCAL altimetric measurements of sea level would be required? THRESHOLD cm TARGET cm Q2) What level of LONG-TERM STABILITY of LOCAL altimetric measurements of sea level would be required? On an ANNUAL SCALE: THRESHOLD mm/y TARGET mm/y On a DECADAL SCALE: THRESHOLD mm/y TARGET mm/y Then let us think of a GLOBAL COASTAL product, i.e. one generated by quality-controlling and averaging all the measurements in the global coastal strip (-15 km from coast) and with a time resolution of ONE MONTH. Q3) What level of ACCURACY of GLOBAL COASTAL altimetric measurements of sea level would be required? THRESHOLD cm TARGET cm Q4) What level of LONG-TERM STABILITY of GLOBAL COASTAL altimetric measurements of sea level would be required? On an ANNUAL SCALE: THRESHOLD mm/y TARGET mm/y On a DECADAL SCALE: THRESHOLD mm/y TARGET mm/y Space available for specific comments: Done, thanks! The results will be made available in the updated User Requirement Document (via ) and discussed at ESA symposia, OSTST Meetings and Coastal Altimetry Workshops.

UK Sea Level SpaceWatch aims to contribute to uptake of sea level advice from altimeters on a national basis:! concept can easily be extended! CryoSat-2 (and AltiKa) giving excellent data.! With J-3, S-3, S-6 forthcoming, space-based GMSL measurements are guaranteed for many years. Can we detect acceleration in these data?!
