Like its two predecessors, OSTM/Jason-2 uses high-precision ocean altimetry to measure the distance between the satellite and the ocean surface to within a few centimeters. These very accurate observations of variations in sea surface height-also known as ocean topography-provide information about global sea level, the speed and direction of ocean currents, and heat stored in the ocean.
