摘要

Abstract

Wet path delay caused by tropospheric water vapor must be considered before altimeter data are used in oceanic application. This paper analyzed several methods of atmosphere water range correction (AWRC) using Seasat

Geosat

TOPEX and ERS-1 data

especially the calculated delay path using brightness temperature of TMR on TOPEX and EMR on ERS-1: and discussed some other problems of AWRC.
