Mean alongtrack wavenumber spectra of oceanic variability for two GEOSAT arcs were compared with a SEASAT-derived regional spectrum of Fu (1983). Agreement was good, with GEOSAT showing less system noise at short wavelengths, and greater oceanic variability at long wavelengths. The GEOSAT spectra were fit well by a k"
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
