Seasonal air and water mass redistribution and its effect on satellite and polar motion
The laser geodetic satellites Lageos and Starlette exhibit residual orbital motion with an unexplained seasonal component. In addition, recognized polar motion excitation sources do not account for a large portion of observed polar motion. It is hypothesized that air and ocean mass redistribution …

Evaluation of GEOSAT data and application to variability of the Northeast Pacific Ocean
… and use altimetric data from the U.S. Navy Geodetic Satellite GEOSAT. The zero-order accuracy of the major GEOSAT geophysical data record (GDR) channels was verified, and occasional gaps in the altimeter coverage were noted. GEOSAT'S 17-day repeat orbit allowed use of collinear-track …
