GEOID HEIGHTS DERIVED FROM GEOS-3-ALTIMETER DATA ALONG THE HAWAIIAN-EMPEROR SEAMOUNT CHAIN

Geoid heights derived from the Geos 3 satellite altimeter show relatively short wavelength (lambda z 280km) geoid highs of 5-12m over the crest of the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain and geoid lows of 1-3m over flanking regions. These geoid undulations can be generally explained by a simple model in...
