| Sea level determination via satellite altimetry is subject to numerous error sources. One of these is the sea state bias where changing surface wave conditions alter an altimeter's estimate of mean sea level. Recent work suggests that present day methods for correcting this bias, based solely on wave and wind information from the altimeter, may be improved if additional surface gravity wave field measurements become available. This paper tests this hypothesis by developing several new sea state bias correction models using a year long combination of Jason-1 data with wave field statistics generated from an hindcast of the WaveWatch3 ocean wave model. Each candidate model is produced in the same manner; through a nonparametric mapping between Jason-1 sea... |
