Sea level determination via satellite altimetry is subject to numerous error sources. One of these is the sea state bias where changing surface wave conditions alter an altimeter’s estimate of mean sea level. Recent work suggests that present day methods for correcting this bias, based solely on wave and wind information from the altimeter, may be improved if additional surface gravity wave fie...

one of the difficulties in using absolute altitudes is the separation between the mean open sealevel and geoid. theoretically, geoid is the base level in absolute altitudes, but practically, the mean open sealevel is used as a base level for absolute altitudes. the difference between these two levels is called as the seasurface topography. in this research, it is dealt the mean sea level modeli...

The direct estimation of sea-state bias (SSB) from sea height residuals is extended with a parametric fitting process and a successive smoothing of the remaining residuals. This hybrid method essentially produces a nonparametric SSB model in the form of a smooth grid in a 2dimensional space determined by significant wave height and backscatter coefficient. The hybrid method allows a much higher...

Utilizing the buoy meteorological data of Arabian Sea collected during onset phase ARMEX an attempt has been made to examine influence monsoon 2003 on surface parameters. The peaking and collapse warm pool compared with normal conditions it found that was very gradual. As a matter fact evaporative cooling in region quite subdued which shows sudden should be expected occur only when vortex is fo...
