Preliminary Results Obtained by DMAAC from the Processing of a Limited Set of GEOSAT Satellite Radar Altimeter Data,

Abstract

Details of the activities associated with the processing of GEOSAT satellite radar altimetry data are discussed. Summary statistics and observations obtained during the processing of a limited set of GEOSAT altimeter data are presented. Statistics from comparisons of GEOSAT-derived mean gravity anomalies with those obtained from available survey data are shown. Future plans and directions for the continued processing and exploitations of this data are indicated. (Author) Keywords: Geoid Height; Radial Orbit Error.
