Preliminary analysis of radar altimeter data indicates that the instrument has met its specifications for measuring spacecraft height above the ocean surface (plus or minus 10 centimeters) and significant wave height (plus or minus 0.5 meter). There is ample evidence that the radar altimeter, having undergone development through three earth orbit missions (Skylab, Geodynamics Experimental Ocean Satellite 3 and Seasat), has reached a level of precision that now makes possible its use for important quantitative oceanographic investigations and practical applications.
