Short summary
To ensure that the sea level is measured as accurately as possible by satellite altimeters, we must monitor possible sea level drifts caused by those instruments through comparison with other satellite altimeters or tide gauges. In this paper, we describe a method and estimate the associated uncertainties for detecting altimeter drifts over short time periods (from 2 to 10 years) through cross-comparison with other satellite altimeters and apply it to the recent Sentinel-3 A/B altimeters.
