This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of the satellite altimetry techniques and related missions, and reviews the most-up-to date applications to ocean dynamics and sea level. It also discusses related space-based observations of the ocean surface (ocean salinity) and of the marine geoid, as well as applications of satellite altimetry to the cryosphere and land surface waters; operational oceanography and its applications to navigation, fishing and defense."--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Oceanography -- Remote sensing Satellite geodesy -- Technique TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING -- Remote Sensing & Geographic Information Systems.
