charting the shape of the sea's level using a radar altimeter.
"We know that there are hills and valleys in the sea, not just under the water, but on the surface itself," Moore said. "Currents pass through the water—for example, the Gulf Stream—there is a slight elevation of the surface; at other points, there are
valleys where gravity is stronger."
Researchers are concerned with ocean waves and winds that cause them. Accurate data concerning the waves or winds could improve weather prediction and save millions of dollars in cargo and ships yearly.
