GEOSAT/ERS-1 Marine Gravity Anomaly Data and Maps produced by Scripps and NOAA

Entry ID: SIO_NOAA_GEOSAT_ERS1_MARINEGRAV

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Upon the release of the previously classified data from the
U.S. Navy GEOSAT satellite in July 1995, researchers from Scripps
Institution of Oceanography and NOAA's National Ocean Service Office
of Ocean and Earth Science have created a detailed map of marine
gravity anomalies from the satellite altimeter data.

The satellite measured the distance from the satellite to sea surface
from March 1985 ...
