    Abstract

    In the coastal zone (<25 km to the coast) altimetric gravity field determination degrades due to a combination of several factors, where the main reason is the degradation of the quality of the altimeter data. By starting out from the original waveform data and retracking the entire ERS-1 GM mission using a highly advanced expert based system of multiple retrackers, the return time from both open ocean and coastal sea surface as well as from all ice-covered regions within the coverage of the ERS-1 can be derived with higher accuracy than presently available. Initial results and evaluation in terms of deriving altimetric marine gravity fields will be summarized in this paper, which shows results from the Hawaiian region.
