      <gmd:abstract>
        <gco:CharacterString>As part of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Sea Level Climate Change Initiative (CCI) Project,  Fundamental Climate Data Records (FCDRs) have been computed for all the altimeter missions used within the project.   These FCDR's consist of along track values of sea level anomalies and altimeter standards for the period between 1993 and 2015.   This version of the product is v2.0.

The FCDR's are mono-mission products, derived from the respective altimeter level-2 products.   They have been produced along the tracks of the different altimeters, with a resolution of 1Hz, corresponding to a ground distance close to 6km.  The dataset is separated by altimeter mission, and divided into files by altimetric cycle corresponding to the repetivity of the mission. 

When using or referring to the Sea Level cci products, please mention the associated DOIs and also use the following citation where a detailed description of the Sea Level_cci project and products can be found:
