2. A brief review of the advances in coastal altimetry

Coastal altimetry has come on to the central stage of the altimetry community. Coastal altimetry workshops (CAWs) are regularly organized (once every 1 or 2

years) for peers to present their recent researches. A book entitled "Coastal Altimetry" was published in 2011 [1], and significant improvements have been made since then. This section attempts to review some important advances in this field.
