  • Abstract
    The absolute SSH (sea surface height) biases of three satellite altimeters Jason-2, Saral/AltiKa and HY-2 were determined using our GPS buoy at the Qian Li Yan Island of China, which are 9.3cm, 1.3cm and 66.8cm, respectively. In addition, the altimetry SWH (significant wave height) were assessed using GPS retrieved SWH, which shows good agreement between the GPS buoy and satellite altimeters. The detailed method and result are described in the paper.
