Post-processing Altimeter Data Towards Coastal Applications and Integration into Coastal Models

摘要: Altimetry missions in the last 16 years (TOPEX/Poseidon, ERS-1/2, GFO, Jason-1 and ENVISAT) recently-launched Jason-2 mission have resulted great advances deep ocean research operational oceanography. However, oceanographic applications using satellite altimeter data become very challenging over regions extending from near-shore to continental shelf slope (Cipollini et al. 2008). In these regions, intrinsic difficulties corrections (e.g., high frequency response tidal atmospheric loading, mean sea level, etc.) issues of land contamination radar radiometer footprints result systematic flagging rejection data. Forthcoming (SARAL/AltiKa, SWOT, Sentinel-3, are designed be better-suited for use coastal ocean. a number studies dealt with problem re-analysing, improving exploiting existing archive monitor dynamics. The early encouraging results (Vignudelli 2005; Bouffard 2008, Birol submitted J Mar Syst 2009) support need continued altimetry, opportunity providing input recommendations future missions.
