Climate modulation on sea surface height in China seas
Chinese Journal of Oceanology and Limnology, 2015The climate modulation on the sea surface height (SSH) in China seas is investigated using a China Ocean Reanalysis (CORA) dataset from 1958–2008. The dataset is constructed by assimilating the temperature/salinity profiles derived from the satellite altimetry data and historical observational temperature/salinity profiles.

A diagnosis of surface currents and sea surface heights in a coastal region
Continental Shelf Research, 2021Upcoming satellite missions will observe the sea surface height (SSH) fields at a very high spatial resolution, which has generated an urgent need to understand better how well geostrophy can represent the ocean current field at finer scales, particularly in coastal regions characterized by complex flow geometry.

The Dependence of Sea Surface Roughness on the Height and Steepness of the Waves
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2001It is proposed that the sea surface roughness zo can be predicted from the height and steepness of the waves, zo/Hs = A(Hs/Lp)B, where Hs and Lp are the significant wave height and peak wavelength for the combined sea and swell spectrum; best estimates for the coefficients are A = 1200, B = 4.5.

Annual sea surface height variability in the Nordic seas
2005Altimeter data from May 1995 to February 2002, together with wind, heat, and fresh water fluxes and hydrographic data, are used to study the annual variability in sea surface height (SSH) in the Nordic Seas. The main contributions to the SSH are quantified with error estimates. The amplitude of the annual variation of the SSH ranges from 4 to 8 cm with

Steric height contribution to intraseasonal sea surface height in the Southwestern Atlantic
2022The sea level varies at diverse spatial and temporal scales due to several physical processes. The main processes are the steric effect, changes in the density of sea water, and the mass changes (e.g. melting ice). In the Southwestern Atlantic, the sea level associated with the steric effect, known as steric height, dominates the seasonal variability ...

Characteristics and mechanisms of sea surface height in the South China Sea
Global and Planetary Change, 2012Abstract Fifty years (1960–2009) sea surface height (SSH) data derived from ECMWF ORA-S3 are analyzed in the South China Sea (SCS). Using stochastic dynamic analytic method to investigate characteristics of SSH on different timescales, it could be found that SSH in the SCS displays distinct seasonal (including annual and semiannaul) and interannual ...

Filtering of Altimetric Sea Surface Heights with a Global Approach
2010The geoid models from GRACE and soon GOCE in combination with sea surface geometry data from satellite altimetry allow to obtain a precise estimate of the absolute dynamic sea surface topography with rather high spatial resolution. However, this requires the combination of data with fundamentally different characteristics and different spatial ...

Stochastic Dynamics of Sea Surface Height Variability
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2010AbstractSea surface height anomalies measured by the Ocean Topography Experiment (TOPEX)/Poseidon satellite altimeter indicate high values of skewness and kurtosis. Except in a few regions, including the Gulf Stream, the Kuroshio Extension, and the Agulhas Retroflection, that display bimodal patterns of sea surface height variability, kurtosis is ...

Is the Mediterranean Sea surface height variability predictable?
Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Parts A/B/C, 2008The relation of sea surface height (SSH) in the Mediterranean Sea with numerous atmospheric variables on time scales from month to few years were investigated in order to construct simple linear statistical models for predicting SSH. Monthly SSH data for the period from January 1993 to December 2001 from the Topex/Poseidon altimetry are used as the ...

Coastal Sea Surface Heights from Improved Altimeter Data
IGARSS 2008 - 2008 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2008Purpose of this study is the geophysical validation and performance assessment of standard and newly re-tracked altimeter data in proximity of selected coastlines. Here we analyse the Mediterranean Sea coastal regions using Topex/Poseidon (T/P) and Envisat altimeter data. Applying analogous selection criteria to both type of data.
