Abstract

Abstract

A detailed analysis and comparison of 7 represented altimeter model functions are presented,which have been published in the open literature,based on the collocted and coincident data between TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter and buoy observations.It is shown that the analytical algorithm considered the effect of wave state is superior to this empirical one as a whole.The issue of deriving wave period from altimeter is also discussed,and the results scatter largely.The possible way of improving wave-period algorithm is suggested.
- altimeter,
