Orbit-related sea level errors for TOPEX altimetry at seasonal to decadal timescales

Interannual to decadal sea level trends are indicators of climate variability and change. A major source of global and regional sea level data is satellite radar altimetry, which relies on precise knowledge of the satellite's orbit. Here, we assess the error budget of the radial orbit compon...
