TOPEX/Poseidon: Measurement, Results & Instruments

TOPEX/Poseidon was a joint satellite altimeter mission between NASA, the U.S. space agency; and CNES, the French space agency, to map ocean surface topography. Launched on August 10, 1992, it was the first major oceanographic research satellite after Seasat. TOPEX/Poseidon helped revolutionize oceanography by providing data previously impossible to…
