Initially developed for monitoring the performance of TOPEX/Poseidon and follow-on Jason legacy satellite altimeters, Corsica geodetic facilities that are located both at Senetosa Cape near Ajaccio have been to calibrate successive altimeters in an absolute sense. Since 1998, successful calibration process used most oceanographic altimeter missions has regularly updated terms situ instruments, ...

Given the considerable range of applications within European Union Copernicus system, sustained satellite altimetry missions are required to address operational, science and societal needs. This article describes Sentinel-6 mission that is designed provide precision sea level, surface height, significant wave inland water heights other products tailored operational services in ocean, climate, a...

A regional σ-model INMOM-Arctic has been prepared on the basis of Russian ocean general circulation model INMOM (Institute Numerical Mathematics Ocean Model) to reproduce current state and short-term forecast Arctic (AO) hydrothermodynamics. The is implemented in a rotated spherical coordinate system with poles located at 60°E 120° W geographic equator, which makes it possible use quasi-uniform...

Understanding nodal tidal characteristics is essential for accurate long-term prediction. Observational evolution of tides mainly based on tide gauge records in coastal areas which are limited time and space, thus impeding coherent determinations basin-wide patterns variability. In this paper, we indicate the potential satellite altimeter data to investigate 18.61-year modulations main constitu...
