Description:The first 18 months of the Geosat altimeter sea level data (April 1985 to September 1986) are secret but can be declassified when converted to crossover differences. We have constructed a global set of Geosat crossover differences consisting of approximately 44 million values. These data include not just the initial 18-month geodetic mission but also the first year of the subsequent exact repeat mission. This enables computation of continuous, 2.5-year sea level time series spanning the two missions. In a similar fashion, this will allow the 1985-86 Geosat records to be referenced to future altimeter observations for determination of interdecadal sea level changes.
