Abstract
The Geosat Follow-on Altimeter will be subject to regular performance validation throughout its performance lifetime. The development of a methodology for performing this validation presents issues that have not been part of past performance analyses. This paper describes a proposed methodology and presents some results of its application to the Topex altimeter
