TL;DRAbstract

The goal of our TOPEX/POSEIDON Extended Mission (TPEM) project is to investigate applications of TOPEX radar altimetry to studies of regional and coastal circulation in northern Australian marginal seas. To this end we are developing regional tidal models for computing accurate tidal corrections in coastal settings. The residual low frequency sea level variations and associated currents are compared with in situ observations. These residuals will ultimately be assimilated into regional hydrodynamic models, to serve chiefly as an input to ecological studies.
