Abstract. It is becoming well known that aliasing associated with ocean tides could be a major source of systematic error in altimeter sea-level measurements, due to asynoptic sampling and imperfect tide modelling. However, it has been shown that signals of non-tidal origin may also contribute significantly to the observed aliasing. In this paper, numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the full aliasing potential associated with altimeter observations of seasonal sea-level variability and annual Rossby waves. Our results indicate that ignorance of non-tidal aliasing may lead to the possibility of underestimating the total aliasing and misinterpreting or overlooking existing geophysical phenomena. Therefore, it is argued that an entire aliasing picture should be kept in mind when satellite altimeter data are analysed.

During the operational lifetime of the Seasat altimeter from 3 July to 10 October 1978, more than 450 overflights were made over East Antarctica inland to latitude 72°S. An analysis of selected passes over a variety of ice features demonstrates that the oceanographic altimeter performed surprisingly well over the ice sheet and ice shelves, acquiring useful measurements during approximately 70% of each pass. The altimeter's onboard tracking system dampened out the ice-surface elevations, but post-flight retracking of the stored return waveforms reveals excellent ice-surface details. After waveform retracking, the altimeter repeatability is better than ±1 m.

Recorded Observation

§ 1. The variations of the surface-level of lakes due to the direct action of wind and rain, and the smaller disturbances caused by surface waves, of small or moderate length, due to the action of the wind and the movement of boats and animals, must have been familiar phenomena at all times. The first accurately recorded observation, that lake-levels are subject to a rhythmic variation, similar in some respects to the ocean tides, seems to have been made at Geneva in 1730 by Fatio de Duillier, a well-known Swiss engineer. Owing to the peculiar configuration of the Geneva end of Lake Léman, these variations occasionally reach a magnitude of 5 or even 6 feet; and Duillier mentions that they were known in his time by the local name of “Seiches,” which has now been applied to rhythmic alterations of the level of lakes in general.
