Abstract :
Ocean currents are an important error source in marine inertial navigation systems (INS). Satellite radar altimeter data are used to construct self- consistent Gauss- Markov models of ocean currents. These models are useful for INS error analysis and optimal (Kalman) filtering of INS outputs.
