Abstract: The errors involved in estimating mean values from data collected over the ocean have been considered in a number of recent papers. In these, errors have been investigated by taking a random sample, size n, many times, ...

Abstract: This paper describes a new method for combining altimetry data with hydrography in order to produce absolute surface geostrophic currents from altimetry. This method is then applied to data from the Drake Passage allowing ...

Abstract: For early satellite altimeters, the retrieval of geophysical information (e.g., range, significant wave height) from altimeter ocean waveforms was performed on board the satellite, but this was restricted by computational ...

Abstract: Globally distributed crossovers of altimeter and scatterometer observations clearly demonstrate that ocean altimeter backscatter correlates with both the near-surface wind speed and the sea state. Satellite data from ...
