They use satellites for that. The US has a fleet of earth observing satellites. They are managed under NASA Earth Sciences Division and NASA, NOAA, and USGS operate different satellites. Other nations also operate satellites.
The first EOS was Poseidon/Topex launched in 1992 to measure sea level and ocean topography. It was replaced with Jason 1, Jason 2, and Jason 3 in 2016.

They use satellites for part of it, but the last decade they’ve used a dedicated micro-bouy system.
For at least the first few years it wasn’t showing the expected warming.
