	abstract = {The strong increase in altimeter measurement errors near land surfaces is a limiting factor for coastal applications. We analyze the performance of the new Ka-band {SARAL}/{AltiKa} ({SRL}) mission in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea. {SRL} sea surface height ({SSH}) measurements are compared with those from the Jason-2 Ku-band satellite mission. The results show a significant increase in both quantity and quality of {SSH} data available near coastlines when using {SRL} data. Available edited data are 95.1\% of {SRL} compared with 88.6\% for Jason-2. Closer than 10 km to the coastline, available {SRL} data are still about 60\% and only about 31\% for Jason-2. Comparisons of the altimeter sea level variations are made with available coastal tide gauge data. The differences obtained between altimeter and tide gauge {SLA} time series are reduced for {SRL} (3.3 cm in average) compared with Jason-2 (4.2 cm in average), especially closer than 30 km to the land. It results in higher correlations (by 30\%) obtained with {SRL} data. The coastal circulation derived from altimetry using {SRL} data shows an offshore meandering, which is more stable in time and with larger velocities close to the coast than that derived from Jason-2 observations.},
