Abstract
The determination of sea surface height from the altimeter range measurement involves
a number of corrections: those expressing the behavior of the radar pulse
through the atmosphere, and those correcting for sea state and other geophysical
signals. A number of these corrections need special attention when reaching the
coast: either because the signal is much larger or the correction is less accurate in
coastal regions.
