Data obtained during the geodetic phase of GEOSAT provide a unique opportunity to represent the mean sea surface and compute accurate information about anomalous aspects of the earth's gravitational field. Observations and summary statistics obtained from the processing by the Defense Mapping Agency Aerospace Center of a limited amount of GEOSAT radar altimetry data are presented. Statistics from comparisons of mean gravity anomalies computed using GEOSAT data and corresponding values obtained using the best available survey data are shown. Future plans and directions for the continued processing and exploitation of the data are discussed.
