TOPEX/Poseidon Radiation Issues: Displacement Damage in Optocouplers

In this paper we describe observed failures of optocouplers on the TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P) ocean measuring satellite. An indirect assessment is made of proton doses by the spacecraft, and these data are compared with laboratory proton irradiations of optocouplers. It is shown that the T/P failures occur at expected doses for proton-induced displacement damage.

Comparison of TOPEX/Poseidon Sea Level Observations to Simulations by the Los Alamos Ocean General Circulation Mode

The sea level observations from the TOPEX/Poseidon radar altimeter from October, 1992 to October, 1994 were used to study the circulation of the global oceans and their temporal changes. To provide a framework for interpreting the observations, the Parallel Ocean Program model of the Los Alamos National Laboratory was run for the same period of time for comparison. A report of that data is given.

Low-frequency variability of the global sea surface height revealed by satellite altimetry

The focus of the paper is the variability of the North Atlantic Ocean. Large-scale low-frequency variability of the North Atlantic has recently been studied based on model simulations, as well as analysis of altimetry data in conjuction with in-situ data. These studies have suggested significant interannual to decadal changes in the North Atlantic in the 1990's.

Ocean Surface Topography Data Products and Tools

The Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archiving Center (PO.DAAC), NASA's primary data center for archiving and distributing oceanographic data, is supporting the Jason and TOPEX/Poseidon satellite tandem missions by providing a variety of data products, tools, and distribution methods to the wider scientific and general community. PO.DAAC has developed several new data products for sea level residual measurements, providing a longterm climate data record from 1992 to the present These products provide compatible measurements of sea level residuals for the entire time series including the tandem TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason mission. Several data distribution tool. are available from NASA PO.DAAC. The Near-Real-Time Image Distribution Server (NEREIDS) provides quicklook browse images and binary data files The PO.DAAC Ocean ESIP Tool (POET) provides interactive, on-tine data subsetting and visualization for several altimetry data products.

An Analysis of the TOPEX/Poseidon Operational Orbit: Observed Variations and Why

Launched in August 1992, TOPEX/Poseidon began and continues a very successful global study of the earth's ocean circulation using a combination of dual-frequency radar altimetry and precision orbit determination (POD). POD results are utilized here to reconstruct the operational orbit history in terms of precise classical mean elements. Elaborations of various facets related to mean elements is discussed.
