Abstract: The authors used meteorological pressure fields from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts to calculate a mean global pressure to serve as a reference for an improved inverse barometer correction of altimeter ...

Abstract: A new technique is developed and tested to correct for cross-track geoid gradients in altimeter data. The proposed method is based on direct estimations of geoid variations around nominal tracks and on knowledge of ocean ...

Abstract: Merging Geosat Follow-On (GFO) with TOPEX/Poseidon (TP) and ERS-2 altimeter data has the potential to improve the mapping of sea level and ocean circulation variations. This can be achieved, however, only if measurement ...
