- ab172a97-a1ed-4a5b-ba0b-8b39685b76a5 definition "Path = ['Radar Altimeters', 'Altimeters', 'Active Remote Sensing', 'Earth Remote Sensing Instruments', 'Instruments'] TOPEX Altimeter Sensor/Instrument: The TOPEX altimeter is a dual frequency radar instrument which draws upon a long heritage of single-frequency altimeters extending back to Seasat. The primary channel for the altimeter is Ku-band (13.6 GHz), and the secondary channel is C-band (5.3 GHz). Inclusion of the secondary channel allows correction for propagation delays in the ionosphere, reducing a significant error source in the measurement. The ALT was developed and built by the Applied Physics Laboratory of the John Hopkins University (APL/JHU) under contract to the Wallops Flight Facility of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) on behalf of JPL.
