Sentence examples for sea height from inspiring English sources

But of course, the extent of destruction from the storm surge came because a tiny bit of extra sea height can hugely amplify a storm's impact.

Information from other spacecraft using radar or laser scanning to measure sea height, like the Topex/Poseidon satellite, can be combined with the gravity data to obtain better estimates of sea-surface temperatures that affect weather.

Extensive analyses of long-term averaged altimetrically determined sea height differences at crossovers for the satellites Geosat, ERS-1 and Topex/Poseidon (single satellite crossovers) as well as between the pairs of satellite (dual-satellite crossovers) clearly show the effects of orbit errors arising from the geopotential model (JGM3) used in computing their pairs.

The TM1 and TM2 records indicate a characteristic sea height change following the earthquake, indicating the propagation of a tsunami.

And because they rely on tidal currents rather than differences in sea height, "these in-stream technologies could be used on a much larger scale", says Mr Philibert.

The sea bottom elevation and initial sea height due to the slip over each subfault segment are calculated based on the analytic solution of Okada (1985), assuming a homogeneous half-space model with a Poisson ratio of 0.25.

This instrument together with other state-of-the-art technologies involved in the mission, led to sea-height determinations with precision better than 2 cm.

The extrapolated model constructed from sea-surface height and sea-surface temperature using the sea-surface temperature as predictor allows a comparison of non-simultaneous multi-mission data.

The validated geophysical altimeter parameters are the sea surface height above the ellipsoid, the significant sea wave height and wind speed, all computed at 20 Hz.

(a) sea surface height relative to the EGM2008 geoid and (b) sea surface height anomalies relative to the CLS01 mean topography along a track across the Grand Banks observed by Jason-2 before (red), during (blue) and after (black) Hurricane Igor.The blue dashed curve in (b) is the sea surface height anomalies with the inverse barometric effect corrected.

We focus on the sea surface height anomalies relative to the CLS01 mean sea surface (Fig. 2b), but also used the sea surface height relative to the EGM2008 geoid (Fig. 2a).
