Gravity anomalies have been recovered in the North Atlantic and the Indian Ocean regions. Comparisons of 63 2¿¿2¿ mean free air gravity anomalies recovered in the North Atlantic area and 24 5¿¿5¿ mean free air gravity anomalies in the Indian Ocean area with surface gravimetric measurements have shown agreement to ¿8 mGal for both solutions. Geoids derived from the altimeter solutions are consistent with altimetric sea surface height data to within the precision of the data, about ¿2 m.
