  skos:definition """TOPEX/Poseidon is an oceanography mission to monitor global ocean
circulation, improve global climate predictions, and monitor events
such as El Nino conditions and ocean eddies. These data have
revolutionized our understanding of the role of ocean in formation of
the Earth's weather and climate. The TOPEX/Poseidon satellite carried
a radar altimeter. It was a joint mission between France and the USA.
Weather and climate change. Disaster management, early warning for
homeland security, carbon management, coastal zone management.
