Abstract: Among the various sources of error on altimetric sea surface height variability, the orbit error has the largest amplitude. However, since orbit error is mostly at long wavelengths, it can theoretically be distinguished ...

Abstract: This paper presents a relatively straightforward method for efficiently reducing the ERS-1 orbit error using Topex/Postidon data. The method is based on a global minimization of Topex/Poscidon-ERS-1 (TP-E) dual crossover ...
