Geosat radar altimetry data have made a significant contribution to mapping of seafloor topography. This grant provides partial funding for a workshop that will review (1) the need for improved ocean bathymetry and gravity, (2) the fundamental physical limitations for recovering seafloor topography from measurements of the ocean surface slope, and (3) the mission requirements to achieve significant improvements in accuracy and spatial resolution.

地球观测卫星雷达测高数据对海底地形测绘作出了重大贡献。 这笔赠款为一个讲习班提供部分资金，该讲习班将审查（1）改进海洋测深和重力的必要性，（2）从海洋表面坡度测量恢复海底地形的基本物理限制，以及（3）显著提高精度和空间分辨率的使命要求。
