Timeliness of Correcting Baseline Error in Wide-Swath Altimeter Based on Reference Topography Data
The baseline error is a primary error source of the wide-swath altimeter, directly related to the cross-track distance, and can lead to serious height errors at the swath’s outer edge.

Inversion method of deflection of the vertical based on SWOT wide-swath altimeter data
The deflection of the vertical (DOV) is the key information in the study of ocean gravity field. However, in most areas, the precision of the prime component of DOV is significantly lower than that of the meridian component. To obtain higher accuracy and

Effects of Interferometric Radar Altimeter Errors on Marine Gravity Field Inversion [PDF]
The traditional altimetry satellite, which is based on pulse-limited radar altimeter, only measures ocean surface heights along tracks; hence, leads to poorer accuracy in the east component of the vertical deflections compared to the north component ...

Contribution of a Wide-Swath Altimeter in a Shelf Seas Assimilation System: Impact of the Satellite Roll Errors [PDF]
Abstract The authors investigate the potential qualitative improvement brought by wide-swath, interferometry-based ocean altimetry measurements with respect to classical nadir altimeters in a coastal/shelf data assimilation system. In addition, particular attention is paid to roll errors, which could significantly reduce the expected ...
