High-precision sea surface height is crucial for determining the marine gravity field. The Sentinel-3/6 altimetry missions, equipped with SRAL and Poseidon-4 altimeters, provide this essential data. However, there is a lack of comprehensive assessment of the Sentinel-3/6 altimeters for inverting mar...
