摘要
A study has been performed which examines the effects of small mid-ocean islands on the Geosat tracker. The surface return waveforms, as well as the altimeter measurements, have been analyzed. Open ocean waveforms have been compared with waveforms containing land reflections; they differ perceptibly. Computations could be performed, based on a combination of waveform data, altimeter signal strength, and sea surface heights to detect contaminated SSH values for subsequent editing. -from Authors
