Satellite Altimeter Sea Level Variation Analysis Of The Southern Ocean

The spatial and time variations of the Southern Ocean sea level and its possible relationship with the Antartic sea ice changes and surface geostrophic currents in the area are investigated using altimeter data sets from ERS-1, ERS-2 and Topex-Poseidon between 1992 and 1999. Altimeter data are analy...

Description
Summary:The spatial and time variations of the Southern Ocean sea level and its possible relationship with the Antartic sea ice changes and surface geostrophic currents in the area are investigated using altimeter data sets from ERS-1, ERS-2 and Topex-Poseidon between 1992 and 1999. Altimeter data are analysed following an Empirical Orthogonal Function Decomposition (EOFD) suggesting the following results: 1- The sea level variability is complex.
