Analysis of altimetry over inland seas [PDF]
Satellite-based altimetric data taken by GEOS-3 and SEASAT over the Black Sea and Caspian Sea are analyzed and a least squares collocation technique is used to predict the geoid undulation on a .25-degree by .25-degree grid and to transform these geoid ...

Precise geoid computation using Stokes-Helmert's scheme and strict integrals of topographic effects
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2019 The high-precision local geoid model was computed based on the improved Stokes-Helmert′s boundary value problem and strict integrals of topographic effects. This proposed method involves three steps.

Detailed gravimetric geoid confirmation of short wavelength features of sea surface topography detected by the Skylab S-193 altimeter in the Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
A detailed gravimetric geoid was computed for the Northwest Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea area in support of the calibration and evaluation of the GEOS-C altimeter. This geoid, computed on a 15 ft. x 15 ft. grid was based upon a combination of surface

Properties of the lithosphere and asthenosphere deduced from geoid observations [PDF]
Data from the GEOS-3 and SEASAT Satellites provided a very accurate geoid map over the oceans. Broad bathymetric features in the oceans such as oceanic swells and plateaus are fully compensated.

Consideration of permanent tidal deformation in the orbit determination and data analysis for the Topex/Poseidon mission [PDF]
The effects of the permanent tidal effects of the Sun and Moon with specific applications to satellite altimeter data reduction are reviewed in the context of a consistent definition of geoid undulations.

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2015 Earth's gravity model (EGM) helps people better determine the figure of Earth, which is generally represented by a global geoid. For a considerable amount of practical applications, people use quasi-geoid to approximate the geoid, thus the quasi-geoid is

The geoid spectrum from altimetry [PDF]
Satellite altimetry information from the world's major oceans was analyzed to arrive at a geoid power spectrum. Using the equivalent of about 7 revolutions of data (mostly from GEOS-3) the power spectrum of the sea surface generally follows the expected ...
