Abstract

The sea state bias (SSB) is one of the most prominent errors in satellite altimetry. The empirical model was mostly used in practical estimation of SSB, which includes the parametric model and nonparametric model. The estimation of SSB for the global area will result to large deviation with a single model, due to the different distribution of sea condition as well as the different accuracy of the two models. In this paper, two models were applied in regions of different latitude. The results of two models were statistical analyzed and evaluated. The analysis indicate that: the nonparametric model is more effective in the area further north than 30°N while the parametric model is more effective in other areas.
