Bathymetric Prediction From SEASAT Altimeter Data
The linear response function technique is used to analyze two 1300-km tracks of SEASAT altimeter data and corresponding bathymetry in the Musician Seamounts region north of Hawaii. Bathymetry and geoid height are highly correlated in the 50to 300-km wavelength range. A predictive filter is developed which can operate on SEASAT altimetry in poorly surveyed oceanic regions to indicate the presenc...
متن کاملBiharmonic spline interpolation of GEOS3 and SEASAT altimeter data
Green functions of the biharmonic operator, in one and two dimensions, are used for minimum curvature interpolation of irregularly spaced data points. The interpolating curve (or surface) is a linear combination of Green functions centered at each data point. The amplitudes of the Green functions are found by solving a linear system of equations. In one (or two) dimensions this technique is equ...
متن کاملSurface observations for the evaluation of geophysical measurements from seasat.
The surface observations used in the initial assessment of Seasat are discussed with emphasis on their ability to describe the synoptic-scale winds over the ocean.
متن کاملAltimeter microwave surface observations in tropical cyclones
Surface measurements in tropical cyclones (TCs) are difficult to obtain and only microwave sensors below 15 Ghz can penetrate the deep convective clouds surrounding the areas where surface winds are the largest (Quilfen et al., 2007). These kind of measurements are crucial to complement the Dvorak TC intensity analysis as obtained from infrared/visible measurements (Velden and Coauthors, 2006)....
متن کاملAltimeter Bias Determination Using Two Years of Transponder Observations
Satellite altimetry provides a precise measure of the vertical distance of the satellite borne altimeter to the instantaneous sea surface. The accuracy of this distance depends on the calibration of the altimeter, the quality of the reflecting target and the proper estimate of path delay. The general design characteristics for absolute altimeter calibration imply a large number of measurements ...
