Altimetersare instruments for measuring elevation. Space-borne altimeters onboard satellites measure sea surface height relative to the marine geoid (a gravitational equipotential surface) or a mean sea surface (MSS) constructed from years of historical altimetry data. The fundamental principle of altimetry is simple: send a radar pulse from the satellite to [..]
