Description:

In March 1985 the U.S. Navy altimeter satellite GEOSAT began generating a new data set with unprecedented spatial and temporal coverage of the global ooeans. The satellite (fig. 1), designed and built at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, MD, carries a radar altimeter that provides a profile of sea level along the satellite groundtrack. Such records enable determination of sea level and its variability, and have application in many areas of geodesy and ocean dynamics. Experience with GE0S-3 and SEASAT in the 1970's demonstrated the enormous potential of altimetry, but neither mission provided a data set that was both long term and global in coverage.
