Fiducial Reference Measurements (FRM) for Altimetry
The Making of a Yardstick for Observing Sea Levels by Satellite

Twenty years of work at the Technical University of Crete to establish the fundamental calibration/validation site for the European Space Agency in Gavdos and West Crete. Why do we need set up the FRM site for calibrating satellite altimeters? Because we need to monitor changes in Oceans, Inland Waters, Polar Regions, but also climate change with satellite altimetry in a way that is:

(1) accurate and reliable,
(2) objective,
(3) homogeneous and continuous,
(4) independent of procedures, instrumentation, Cal/Val locations, and settings, and
(5) durable for many years to come (at least 20 years).
