GEOSAT Follow-On (GFO): Operational Orbit Determination Data for 1998-2008 (NCEI Accession 0085961)
The GEOSAT Follow-On (GFO) program is the Navy's initiative to develop an operational series of radar altimeter satellites to maintain continuous ocean observation from the GEOSAT Exact Repeat Orbit. GFO was launched in February 1998. On 29 November 2000 the Navy accepted the satellite as operational. GFO officially ended on October 22, 2008. NOAA worked together with the Naval Oceanographic Office to process the altimeter data and provides Geophysical Data Record (GDR) to the scientific research community (all data are unclassified). This accession contains a copy of GFO Operational Orbit Determination Data (OODD), which was generated by the United States Naval Satellite Operations Center (NAVSOC).
