Her supervisor Ralph Neiman recommended her as project manager for the Seasat radar altimetry project, the first satellite that could remotely sense oceans.

Other independent techniques for validation could be satellite radar altimetry and astro-geodetic deflections of the vertical.

The US-French satellites, called TOPEX/Poseidon and Jason-1, passed over the Bay of Bengal two hours after the massive earthquake struck just off the coast of Indonesia.

ESA, in collaboration with the French Space Agency, CNES, is organizing a symposium on 25 years of progress in radar altimetry, which will be held in Ponta Delgada from 24–29 September.

It is defined in relation to a reference ellipsoid (geoid height), making it compatible with space-based positioning technologies (e.g., GNSS, satellite radar altimetry).

Average trend for the altitude change of the top of the ice cap (in cm per year), deducted from radar altimetry between 1992 and 2003 (this is the reason why there is no data close to the Pole: the satellite just doesn’t fly over there !).
