摘要

Abstract

We present preliminary calibration results for Jason-3 and Sentinel-3A altimeters that we set up in the Wanshan Islands in Guandong Province

China. Two campaigns were carried out in 2018

from March 8 to April 16 and from November 3 to December 11

2018. Three GPS reference stations and tide gauges were established on the islands of Zhiwan

Dangan

and Wailingding during the campaigns. The in-situ sea surface height (SSH) of the altimeter footprint was determined using the tide gauge. The tidal and geoid connection between the tide gauge locations and the altimeter footprints were computed with the NAO.99Jb tidal prediction system and the EGM 2008 geoid

respectively. The data of the tide gauges were defined using the GPS buoy and GPS reference stations during the campaigns. The results show that the waveform of the altimeters was slightly contaminated by the small islands. The bias associated with Jason-3 and Sentinel-3A amounted to approximately +20.7±49.7 mm and +30.1±39.4 mm

respectively

which agreed well with the results from other in-situ calibration fields. This indicates that the Wanshan area was very suitable as an in-situ calibration/validation field. The wet zenith delay (WZD) determined from the Microwave Radiometer (MWR) and the GPS measurements differed from each other for the Jason-3 and Sentinel-3A by -6.6±7.4 mm and 0±6.8 mm

respectively.
