Topex/Poseidon, a dedicated altimetry mission that introduces major advances in measurement accuracy using state of the art dual frequency radar altimeters is described. A radiometer for correction of the altimeter measurements, and high accuracy satellite orbit determination systems, is presented. The functions and the architecture of the proposed ground data system at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (U.S.) to support the mission are described.
