Significant dissipation of tidal energy in the deep ocean inferred from satellite altimeter data
Gary D. Egbert,Richard D. Ray +1 more
TL;DR: Satellite altimeter data from Topex/Poseidon is used to map empirically the tidal energy dissipation and shows that approximately 1012 watts—that is, 1 TW, representing 25–30% of the total dissipation—occurs in the deep ocean, generally near areas of rough topography.
A Global Ocean Tide Model From TOPEX/POSEIDON Altimetry: GOT99.2
TL;DR: Goddard Ocean Tide model GOT99.2 as mentioned in this paper is a new solution for the amplitudes and phases of the global oceanic tides, based on over six years of sea-surface height measurements by the TOPEX/POSEIDON satellite altimeter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimates of M2 Tidal Energy Dissipation from TOPEX/Poseidon Altimeter Data
Gary D. Egbert,Richard D. Ray +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite altimeter data to map the tidal dissipation rate throughout the world ocean using least squares fitting of the altimeter and the shallow water equations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent Greenland Ice Mass Loss by Drainage System from Satellite Gravity Observations
Scott B. Luthcke,H. J. Zwally,Waleed Abdalati,David D. Rowlands,Richard D. Ray,R. S. Nerem,Frank G. Lemoine,J. J. McCarthy,Douglas S. Chinn +8 more
TL;DR: The overall rate of loss reflects a considerable change in trend from a near balance during the 1990s but is smaller than some other recent estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Erofeeva,Hok Sum Fok,Hok Sum Fok,J. A. M. Green,Stephen D. Griffiths,Matt A. King,V. Lapin,Frank G. Lemoine,Scott B. Luthcke,Florent Lyard,James H. Morison,Malte Müller,Laurie Padman,James G. Richman,Jay F. Shriver,C. K. Shum,C. K. Shum,Eifu Taguchi,Yuchan Yi +29 more
TL;DR: The accuracy of state-of-the-art global barotropic tide models is assessed using bottom pressure data, coastal tide gauges, satellite altimetry, various geodetic data on Antarctic ice shelves, and independent tracked satellite orbit perturbations as discussed by the authors.
