Fig. 3.3.4 (a) Ocean topography estimated from the T/P data from 1993–94 and the JGM-3 geoid. (b) Ocean
topography simulated by an ocean general circulation model (POCM_4B) for the same time period. (c) The difference
between the top and middle panels (T/P9POCM_4B). Contour interval is 10 cm. Adapted from Rapp et al. (1996).
