GFO Altimeter Engineering Assessment Report. Update: The First 65 Cycles Since Acceptance, November 29, 2000 to December 9, 2003, Version 1
The U.S. Navy's Geosat Follow-On (GFO) Mission, launched February 10, 1998, is one of a series of altimetric satellites which include Seasat, Geosat, ERS-1, and TOPEX/POSEIDON (T/P). The purpose of this report is to document the GFO altimeter performance determined from the analyses and results...
