Estimation of contamination of ERS-2 and POSEIDON satellite radar altimetry close to the coasts of Australia

Estimation of contamination of ERS-2 and POSEIDON satellite radar altimetry close to the coasts of Australia

It is broadly acknowledged that the precision of satellite-altimeter-measured instantaneoussea surface heights (SSH) is lower in coastal regions than in open oceans, duepartly to contamination of the radar return from the coastal sea-surface state and fromland topography. This study investigates the...
