abstract = "Jason, the successor to the TOPEX/POSEIDON (T/P) mission, has been designed to continue seamlessly the decade-long altimetric sea level record initiated by T/P. Intersatellite calibration has determined the relative bias to an accuracy of 1.6 mm rms. Tide gauge calibration of the T/P
record during its original mission shows a drift of 0.1 \textpm 0.4 mm/year. The tide gauge calibration of 20 months of nominal Jason data indicates a drift of 5.7 \textpm 1.0 mm/year, which may be attributable to errors in the orbit ephemeris and the Jason Microwave Radiometer.
The analysis of T/P and Jason altimeter data over the past decade has resulted in a determination of global mean sea level change of +2.8 \textpm 0.4 mm/year.",
