The Western Mediterranean Sea: an Area for A Regional Validation for TOPEX/Poseidon and A Field for Geophysical and Oceanographic Studies

The research project has two kinds of objectives. The first is focused on the regional validation of the altimeter, orbit, and mean sea surface; it will be performed in close cooperation with the local validation performed at Lampedusa/Lampione (Italy). The second deals with the geophysical and oceanographic research of interest in this area.
