Unit IV
OCEANOGRAPHIC AND CRYOSPHERIC OBSERVABLES
Sea surface topography and the mean sea level, ocean currents, ocean mass redistribution, ocean bathymetry, Sea ice thickness observations, ice mass balance, glacier thickness and drift.
Unit V
ATMOSPHERIC AND SOLID EARTH OBSERVABLES
Total precipitable water, ionospheric total electron content, atmospheric circulation and mass redistribution, Elastic, viscoelastic and episodic deformation and gravity responses to geodynamic processes like plate tectonics, Earthquakes and volcanic activity.
