abstract: Gravity models are powerful tools for mapping tectonic structures, especially in the deep ocean basins where the topography remains unmapped by ships or is buried by thick sediment. We combined new radar altimeter measurements from satellites CryoSat-2 and Jason-1 with existing data to construct a global marine gravity model that is two times more accurate than previous models. We found an extinct spreading ridge in the Gulf of Mexico, a major propagating rift in the South Atlantic Ocean, abyssal hill fabric on slow-spreading ridges, and thousands of previously uncharted seamounts. These discoveries allow us to understand regional tectonic processes and highlight the importance of satellite-derived gravity models as one of the primary tools for the investigation of remote ocean basins.
purpose: This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.

description: Updated information from ICES for the platform JASON-1 from FRANCE. Description: Altimetry satellite; follow-on of the TOPEX-Poseidon satellite Country *: FR FRA 250 ISO 3166-2:FR (NODC ATDB=79) Platform Class *: 65-Orbiting satellite Operations/Responsible organization: Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) Previous Name: N/A Commissioned Date: (2001-12-07) Decommissioned Date: (2013-07-01) Current Length (m): Height: 3.4 meters Built Date (YYYY-MM-DD): unknown GCMD Platform Keyword: "Earth Observation Satellites","","JASON-1","" Notes +: Jason-1 is a follow-on altimetric mission to the very successful TOPEX/Poseidon mission. It is a joint mission between NASA and CNES. It launched December 7, 2001 and began data collection at January 15, 2002. Jason-1 is capable of measuring significant wave height, sigma0, dry and wet troposphere and ionosphere, which can be used to calculate sea surface height and anomalies and total electron content. Jason-1 was decommissioned in June 2013.
