The satellite altimetry data from cryosat 2 is being provided by esa while data from the jason 1 mission was provided by the national aeronautics and space administration nasa and the centre national d études spatiales cnes.
The seasat altimeter data together with a detailed gravimetric geoid have been used to demonstrate the ability of satellite altimetry to detect sea surface height signatures associated with the gulf stream system.
The results derived by the two methods are intercompared and also compared with corresponding gravity anomalies from the global marine data base of sandwell and smith 1997.
Satellite radar altimeters measure the ocean surface height sea level by measuring the time it takes a radar pulse to make a round trip from the satellite to the sea surface and back.
This technique has brought about a revolution in the study of marine gravity fields and then in the oceanographic studies.
