Abstract
Based on the data of JASON-1 altimetry, the parametric model of estimating the sea state bias (SSB) was studied. Non-SSB signals within the altimeter data were eliminated by means of forming differences between measurements taken at crossover points. According to Taylor expansion, 32 parametric models of SSB were developed as the function of both the significant wave height and wave speed. The estimation values of each parametric model were derived from the linear regression, and then the optimal model was obtained via the process of evaluation and selection. Finally, the effectiveness of the parametric model was validated through comparing the SSB estimation of the model with the geophysical data records (GDR) of JASON-1. The results show that the parametric model is effective, and can be used for JASON-1 SSB correction.
