Abstract

Abstract

Information on the sea state can be derived from remote sensing data of a satellite altimeter.The geophysical data records of the GEOSAT satellite include data on the significant wave height (SWH) of good accuracy.Based on the altimetric observations of SWH over the northern South China Sea from CEOSAT satellite in 1988.the characteristics of SWH are analysed.The results are compared with those based on the historical data from conventional sectional observations with a generally consistent agreement.The altimetric observations,how a distinct advantage in the study of the high sea state.
- The northern South China Sea,
- CUEOSAT altimeter,
- significant wave height,
- sectional observations
