  • Mean surface topography of the northwest Atlantic: Comparison of estimates based on satellite, terrestrial gravity, and oceanographic observations 

    Thompson, K. R.; Huang, J.; Veronneau, M.; Wright, D. G.; Lu, Y. (American Geophysical Union, 2009-07/08)
    The accuracy of a new mean sea surface topography (MSST) of the northwest Atlantic is assessed. The MSST is estimated from 12 years of altimeter observations referenced with respect to a new regional geoid based on a blend ...
