Computer Simulations of the Recovery of Geoidal Undulations Over the North Atlantic by the Short Arc Reduction of Satellite Altimetry.

Abstract

The Computer Program SARRA (Short Arc Reduction of Radar Altimetry) has been successfully revised to incorporate a geoid model employing spheroidal multiquadric functions. The simulations of several hundred passes of GEOS-C over the North Atlantic demonstrates the potential recovery of geoid undulations of accuracies better than one meter. (Author)
