Links to Altimetry Sites
- Altimetry and Ocean Modeling - research objective is to simulate the ocean circulation and improve it by data assimilation. Satellite-derived data on altimetry, temperature, and winds are used.
- Altimetry Atlas - mean sea surface and gravity anomaly maps of the oceans.
- Ice Altimetry - processing of satellite radar and aircraft laser altimetry over the continental ice sheets and surrounding sea ice to calculate surface elevations.
- Laser Altimeter Processing Facility - processing and distributing data products acquired by experimental airborne and spaceborne laser altimeters developed within Goddard's Laboratory for Terrestrial Physics
- Near-Earth Navigation and Geodesy - European Space Operations Centre - sea level monitoring from ERS satellites' altimetry and orbit determination results, and space geodesy research.
- Polar Ice Altimetry Processing
- Satellite Observing Systems: Altimetry
- Satellite Radar Altimetry - satellite altimetry offers the possibility to measure sea surface heights globally.
- TOPEX/Poseidon Kids Page - join Toppy the Satellite and learn lots of neat facts and information about the TOPEX satellite and the planet Earth.
- TOPEX/Poseidon: The Ocean Topography Experiment - mission to monitor global ocean circulation, discover the tie between the oceans and atmosphere, and improve global climate predictions.
