Arc program documentationA description of the input and output files and the data control cards for the altimeter residual computation (ARC) computer program is given. The program acts as the final altimeter preprocessor before the data is reformatted for external users. It calculates all parameters necessary for the computation of the altimeter observation residuals and the sea surface height. Mathematical models used for calculating tropospheric refraction, geoid height, tide height, ephemeris, and orbit geometry are described.
