		In this paper we describe the motivations and outcomes of 10 years of research into applications of altimetry to the area of the Corsica Channel in the Northwestern Mediterranean.
		This area is highly relevant from an oceanographic point of view, as the flow through the Channel links the overall circulation in the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian Seas, and its variations and trends play a key role in establishing the ocean dynamics in the two sub-basins.
		The Corsica Channel is a perfect site for such investigations, in virtue of the favourable location of altimetric tracks and cross-over points, combined with the availability of long-term in-situ observations from a number of instruments including currentmeters, tide gauges and bottom pressure recorders.
