Bathymetry Estimates in the Southern Oceans from SEASAT Altimetry

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A mean sea surface height based on Seasat altimeter data has been high-pass filtered to reveal a pattern of geoid anomalies which are highly correlated with sea-floor topography. The technique is used to locate new bathymetric features in the poorly surveyed southern oceans.
