| By taking into account salinity measurements and consequently mean residence time, current measurements, tidal computation with a 2-D model and wind induced currents provided by a 3-D model, a global diagram of residual flow in Seine Bay is given. Main patterns are exhibited: density currents in the eastern part of the bay, off the Seine Estuary, wind induced circulation, especially along the coast and over the Channels, and tidal residual patterns induced by topography. |

| The altimetric sea-level data base supplied by the satellite Geosat has permitted numerous studies in the field of ocean science, some of which have addressed, through comparisons with island gauge observations, the question of the quality of the sea level products inferred from die Geosat dataset. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of these recent studies, illustrating the usefulness of in situ sea level gauge measurements for satellite altimetry validation, to present briefly the status of the present worldwide sea level network, and to provide some guidelines on what must be done in the near future to improve this network further. It is shown that some of the discrepancies between altimeter products and tide gauge records are due to... |
