The joint U.S./France TOPEX/Poseidon mission launched on August 10, 1992 and aimed at optimizing the sea surface height measurements is described. Results of the first six months of the mission intended to calibrate and validate the missions measurements are presented. The verification results show that almost all measurements have exceeded performance requirements. The root-mean-square accuracy of the sea surface height measurement is estimated to be about 5.7 cm, which is significantly less than the specification of 13.4 cm.
