| Content Summary | This work provides the essential elements for a scientific and operational roadmap with guidelines and practical directions to calibrate satellite altimeters under a new established standard of Fiducial Reference Measurements for Altimetry. According to this new principle, ground facilities, instrumentation and procedures, set up for calibration and validation (Cal/Val) of observations and products in altimetry, shall follow well-documented procedures and protocols, transparent to all involved. It shall also deliver uncertainty budgets of the Cal/Val results which should be built upon metrological standards and capable of being traced to Système International units. At first, this paper describes some guidelines for establishing new facilities for satellite altimetry Cal/Val with respect to their geographical location. Secondly, it gives requirements for maintaining an efficient performance and functionality for the Cal/Val facility. Third, it presents the optimal design and setup for the facility’s instrumentation in relation to the Cal/Val technique employed. Finally, this work recommends in-situ data set formats. | en |
