Jason (Joint Altimetry Satellite Oceanography Network)

The Jason (Joint Altimetry Satellite Oceanography Network) is a series of satellites that monitor the Earth's oceans by measuring their surface height with high precision. These measurements help scientists understand sea level changes, ocean currents, and climate trends. By consistently recording ocean data, Jason satellites provide critical information for climate research, weather forecasting, and managing marine resources. The network’s data improves our understanding of how oceans respond to and influence global climate, offering a valuable tool for scientists working to address environmental challenges.
