This database contains global data of wind speed and wave height obtained from all the altimeter missions which have flown since 1985. The data has been calibrated against NDBC buoy data and validated with independent buoy measurements and at cross-over points with other altimeter missions. The long term stability of the data has been assessed against buoy data and any discontinuities which may occur due to changes in the processing techniques or instrumentation has been removed in the calibration process. There is a static snapshot of the database as at February 2019 (https://dx.doi.org/10.26198/5c77588b32cc1), and this has been documented in a Scientific Data Publication. This metadata record provides access to the dynamic (most recent) version of the database.
