Abstract (EN): In this paper, we will showcase the main outcomes of the COASTALT project, including improved corrections (with special emphasis on the tropospheric effect) and novel re-tracking techniques built on established research results and the processing chain development with the generation and validation of ENVISAT test data sets over a selection of regional sites. We will also dive in further and explore how coastal altimetry might be exploited to its full potential in the coastal zone. This should be of interest to a broad range of data integrators that have an interest in using these improved altimeter data in their operational products or services.
