To improve the geopotential representation, the use of satellite-to-ocean altitudes anticipates that the altimeter will be accurate to a few meters and that the open ocean approximates an equipotential surface to a few meters. Computational problems that might arise in the analyses could be largely circumvented by using a different, but equivalent, set of functions to represent the geopotential instead of using spherical harmonic. At any point on the geoid, only a very few of these alternative functions have significant values; this rest are negligible. Included in this valume are (1) Possible Geopotential Improvement from Satellite Altimetry, by C. A. Lundquist and G.E.O. Giacaglia, and (2) Numerical definition of Localized Functions on Sphere, by K. Hebb and S. G. Mair.
