Recent improvements in Geosat altimeter data

Abstract

Techniques are described for enhancing the accuracy of the geophysical data records derived from Geosat altimeter observations with treatments for water-vapor correction and satellite orbit. The TOVS/Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSMI) water vapor data and T2 ephemeris are used to effectively adjust tide-gauge records. The T2 orbit is found to be effective for the study of large-scale phenomena with reductions in the radial orbit error.
