Indian Ocean SSH variability for the signal with period of:

These movies show evolution of sea surface hight ( SSH) over the Indian Ocean for five selected frequency bands: semi-annual, annual, 18-month (16-22- months band), 3 year (29-43 months band), and 4-7 years and for low-pass filtered signal with cut-off frequency ~ 1/13 months.

They are based on gridded (1 degree) SSH weekly-averaged data for the period from 14 October 1992 to 18 April 2007 (758 weeks) collected by the ERS/Envisat/TOPEX/Jason-1 . satellites (see the GRL paper for description of signal analysis method).
