Science opportunities from the Topex/Poseidon mission [PDF]
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the French Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) propose to conduct a Topex/Poseidon Mission for studying the global ocean circulation from space.

Interpretation of the northern boundary of Ishtar Terra from Magellan images and altimetry [PDF]
Part of the controversy on the origin of western Ishtar Terra (IT) concerns the nature of Uorsar Rupes (UR), the northern boundary of IT. In the hypothesis of lithospheric convergence and underthrusting, UR is held to be the main boundary thrust fault at

Radar observations of the inner solar system [PDF]
Concurrent objectives involve dynamical information: maintenance of Mars ephemeris accuracy, Mercury closure-point ranging for relativity theory testing, and refinement of spin-vector estimates for Venus and Mercury. This task has been renamed to reflect

Status and future of extraterrestrial mapping programs [PDF]
Extensive mapping programs have been completed for the Earth's Moon and for the planet Mercury. Mars, Venus, and the Galilean satellites of Jupiter (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto), are currently being mapped.

Strategies for estimating the marine geoid from altimeter data [PDF]
In processing altimeter data from a spacecraft borne altimeter to estimate the fine structure of the marine geoid, a problem is encountered. In order to describe the geoid fine structure, a large number of parameters must be employed and it is not ...

The application of Skylab altimetry to marine geoid determination [PDF]
The author had identified the following significant results. The major results can be divided broadly into two groups. One group is concerned with the effects of errors inherent in the various input data, such as the orbit emphemeris, a priori geoid etc.

Large-scale phenomena, chapter 3, part D [PDF]
Oceanic phenomena with horizontal scales from approximately 100 km up to the widths of the oceans themselves are examined. Data include: shape of geoid, quasi-stationary anomalies due to spatial variations in sea density and steady current systems, and ...
