Abstract: A detailed analysis of the velocity field mapping capabilities from existing and future multiple altimeter missions is carried out using the Los Alamos North Atlantic high-resolution model. The velocity mapping errors on ...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to quantify the contribution of merging multiple-satellite altimeter missions to the mesoscale mapping of sea level anomaly (H), and zonal (U) and meridional (V) geostrophic velocities. A ...

Abstract: The contribution of merging multiple-satellite altimeter missions to the mapping of sea level is analyzed from a North Atlantic high-resolution (1/10°) numerical simulation. The model is known to represent the mesoscale ...

Abstract: ea surface height (SSH) measurements provided by pulse-limited radar altimeters are one-dimensional profiles along the satellite's nadir track, with no information whatsoever in the cross-track direction. The anisotropy ...

Abstract: In high-eddy-energy regions, it is generally assumed that sea level wavenumber spectra compare well with quasigeostrophic (QG) turbulence models and that spectral slopes are close to the expected k?5 law. This issue is ...

Abstract: n Ocean System Simulation Experiment is used to quantify the observing capability of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission and its contribution to higher-quality reconstructed sea level anomaly (SLA) fields ...

Abstract: he observation of ocean scales smaller than 100 km with low-resolution mode (LRM) altimetry products is degraded by the existence of a ?hump artifact? visible on sea surface height (SSH) spectra.Through an analysis of ...
