Correction of satellite radar altimeter data on ice-covered surfaces in Antarctica using an integrated geographical information system

The problem of correcting satellite altimeter measurements for errors introduced by topographic surfaces was chosen to test the capabilities of a prototype integrated geographical information system. A system to calculate and apply corrections to altimeter data has been implemented and tested using...
