Abstract: Radial orbit error, defined as the uncertainty in the geocentric altitude of a satellite, is the dominant error in the measurement of sea surface height by a satellite altimeter. Apart from a geographically dependent ...

Abstract: Free, equatorially trapped sinusoidal wave solutions to a linear model on an equatorial beta plane are used to fit the Geosat altimetric sea level observations in the Tropical Pacific Ocean. The Kalman filter technique is ...
