Jason Satellites

Jason satellites are specialized ocean-monitoring satellites part of a global system designed to track and study sea level changes and ocean circulation. They use radar technology to measure the height of the ocean surface with high precision, providing vital data on tides, currents, and rising sea levels. This information helps scientists understand climate change, monitor hurricanes, and improve weather forecasting. Operating continuously from space, Jason satellites offer essential insights into the Earth’s changing oceans, supporting environmental research and coastal management efforts worldwide.
