Use of a High-Resolution Model to Analyze the Mapping Capabilities of Multiple-Altimeter Missions

The contribution of merging multiple-satellite altrimeter missions to the mapping of sea level is analyzed from a North Atlantic high-resolution (1/10degrees) numerical simulation. The model is known to represent the mesoscale variability quite well and offers a unique opportunity for assessing the...

Summary:The contribution of merging multiple-satellite altrimeter missions to the mapping of sea level is analyzed from a North Atlantic high-resolution (1/10degrees) numerical simulation. The model is known to represent the mesoscale variability quite well and offers a unique opportunity for assessing the mapping capability of multiple-altimeter missions.
