    Abstract
    Altimeter data from satellites are being used in an ongoing effort to obtain data sets with temporal as well as global coverage. This report describes the algorithms formulated and the programs written for the use of altimeter data from the European Space Agency (ESA) European Remote Sensing Satellite, ERS-1, for a repeat track analysis of ocean currents. It also presents some results from the California Current region.

      Improving the time resolution of surfzone bathymetry using in situ altimeters 

      Moulton, Melissa; Elgar, Steve; Raubenheimer, Britt (2013-06)
      Surfzone bathymetry often is resolved poorly in time because watercraft surveys cannot be performed when waves are large, and remote sensing techniques have limited vertical accuracy. However, accurate high-frequency ...

      Assimilation of altimeter data in a quasi-geostrophic model of the Gulf Stream system : a dynamical perspective 

      Capontondi, Antonietta (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1993-02)
      The dynamical aspects involved in the assimilation of altimeter data in a numerical ocean model have been investigated. The model used for this study is a quasi-geostrophic model of the Gulf Stream region. The data that ...

      Two modes of Gulf Stream variability revealed in the last two decades of satellite altimeter data 

      Perez-Hernandez, M. Dolores; Joyce, Terrence M. (American Meteorological Society, 2014-01)
      Monthly mapped sea level anomalies (MSLAs) of the NW Atlantic in the region immediately downstream of the Gulf Stream (GS) separation point reveal a leading mode in which the path shifts approximately 100 km meridionally ...
