GEOS 3 ocean geoid investigation
Abstract
A determination of the fine-scale sea surface topography in the GEOS 3 calibration area using the radar altimeter data is presented. Estimates of the north-south and east-west components of the deflections of the vertical as well as values of the geoidal heights are made. Three major stages of processing are used in obtaining the final results. The first two use pass processors; in the final stage the processor combines all the pass results to compute the final results. Comparison with a gravimetrically determined geoid for the calibration area, provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, yielded a mean and standard deviation of 0.45 and 1.5 m, respectively
