Caribbean Sea Eddies Inferred from TOPEX/Poseidon Altimetry and a 1/6-Degree Atlantic Ocean Model Simulation
Large cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies are found in the Caribbean Sea. Analysis of sea level data from the TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter shows that the eddies are quite regular,......

Mean Sea Level Derived from Altimetry and Wind-Driven Numerical Models in the Indian Ocean
Wind-driven model skill in simulating sea level variations in the Indian Ocean depends on our knowledge of the mean ocean dynamic topography. This is demonstrated by running the nonlinear or linear version of a shallow-water model driven by observed winds over Geosat and TOPEX periods. Geosat variations are assimilated in the nonlinear shallow-water model with the objective of obtaining topography data.

Sea State Bias in Satellite Altimetry: Models Rating, Limitations and Optimal Parameters
Investigations of the sea state bias in altimeter measurements of sea surface height have been reported by many authors based on aircraft, sea tower and satellite borne observations, resulting in several proposed algorithms of the form SSB = H, where H is the significant wave height (SWH) and is a nondimensional function of wind and wave parameters. The reported values for empirical coefficients in these algorithms differ widely. In the present work, based on the most complete set of satellite measurements (Geosat altimeter) employed for such studies, all known algorithms are rated...

Recent Ice Sheet and Glacier Elevation Changes in Greenland from Aircraft Laser Altimetry
The Arctic Ice Mapping group (Project AIM) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Wallops Flight Facility has been conducting systematic topographic surveys of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) since 1993, using scanning airborne laser altimeters combined with Global Positioning System (UPS) technology. Earlier surveys showed the ice sheet above 2000-rn elevation to be in balance, but with localized regions of thickening or thinning. Thinning predominates at lower elevations and thinning rates have recently increased, resulting in a negative mass balance for the entire ice sheet. Recently, critical segments of near-coastal flight lines in Greenland were resurveyed. Results from the new data will be presented.
