Abstract

The purpose of the project which was undertaken with support from the Russian Basic Research Foundation (Project N 96-07-89315) was to set up an integrated satellite altimetry data base (ISADB), which would include the results of altimetry measurements carried out by the Russian GEOIK geodetic satellites and by GEOSAT, ERS-1, ERS2 and TOPEX/POSEIDON during the period 1985--1998 ISADB also includes supplementary information necessary for the processing and interpretation of experimental data. The functions of data processing and data visualization for the problem-oriented study of the sealevel changes of the world ocean, large inland basins and for the determination of the detailed characteristics of the gravity field of the Earth are realized by software, in addition to the standard data base management system (DBMS).
