Abstract

At GFZ/D-PAF ERS altimeter data is used to systematically generate geophysical products. ERS fast delivery records are upgraded to QLOPR by means of a precise time correlation, GFZ/D-PAF preliminary orbit, new tidal model, actual meteorological data and up to date ionospheric model. QLOPR can be accessed within 2 weeks from the time of observation by FTP. As well as ERS processing, data from all other missions is gathered and converted to a common data format.
