Just 5 questions: Sea surface topography
Description: Earth's seas and oceans have high and low points, just like Earth's continents have hills and valleys.

Scientists are working to understand how sea level rise, warming oceans and sea surface topography will interact and affect our planet as our climate continues to change.
