RMS Difference between ocean dynamic topography estimates using two years of TOPEX data with Geoid Undulation Models and that from the POCM_4B GCM Model. Values are calculated through orthonormal functions defined over the ocean to degree 14 and 24; from Rapp [1996].
| Geopotential Model | To Deg. 14 (cm) | To Deg. 24 (cm) |
|---|---|---|
| JGM-3/OSU91A | 12.4 | 13.8 |
| EGM96 | 9.6 | 11.2 |
