Estimates of the oceanic heat storage (HS) are important to improve our understanding of air-sea interactions and its long-term contribution to climate change.

Oceanic heat storage and heat storage rate are correlated to the sea surface height anomaly signals from the TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter data from 1992 to 1998.
Sea surface height anomaly signals from satellite altimeter data are used to estimate heat storage. Since variability in sea surface height is mostly due to expansion and contraction of the water column it can be correlated with variations in the heat and salt content.
Daily NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) wind estimates cover about 75% of the globe.
