Geosat Follow-On is a U.S. Navy altimeter mission that was launched on Feb 10, 1998.
NOAA works together with the Naval Oceanographic Office to process the
altimeter data and provides GDRs to the scientific research community
(all data are unclassified). We are actively
analyzing both the Sensor Data Records (SDRs) and NAVO Interim GDRs (NGDRs)
as part of the geophysical validation of the final NOAA GDRs.
The links below provide
documentation on both the NOAA
and Navy altimetry products and provide
access to these data sets.
Links to
Cal/Val presentations and posters for GFO are provided,
along with a listing of external
GFO-related websites.
If you have any difficulty accessing the datasets, or need further information,
please contact
John Lillibridge.
GDR data are also
available on DVD-R by special request. Browse the DVD images on our ftp site:
