Towards More Efficient Use of Radar-Altimeter Data
Twenty years ago, experimental altimeters on NASA's Skylab and Geos-3 were already demonstrating the potential of such instrumentation. This led in turn to the development and launch by NASA in July 1978 of the Seasat oceanographic satellite mission. Both Geos-3 and Seasat were very successful in their pioneering missions, but were limited somewhat by poor coverage in the case of Geos-3 and an abnormally short mission duration in Seasat's case.

Annex-D-ERS-1-ALT-OPR-Product-CCT-Format.pdf
This product aims at providing the users with geophysically corrected altimeter measures over ocean, including all the engineering corrections and all the geophysical corrections due to the troposphere, the ionosphere and the electromagnetic bias. In addition, the surface altitude over the ellipsoid is calculated, correcting for the surface elevation due to tides and geoid.
