Title: ESTIMATION OF THE OCEAN TIDE EFFECT ON THE ALTIMETRIC MEASUREMENTS
Abstract: The oceanic tide is a periodic phenomenon of rise and fallen of the sea level. It is governed by the gravitational action of the solar system bodies essentially the moon and the sun, it translates by a transport of water masses. The evaluation of the oceanic tide is calculated using two global models GOT00.2 and FES95.2; the comparison of the results obtained with the ocean tide value transmitted in the message of Jason-1 and Topex/Poseidon satellites allowed us the validation of the methodological approach developed. The proximity of the results obtained is sufficient for the most altimetric applications as the determination of the mean sea level which was calculated on the western Mediterranean Sea during a 72 cycle period.
