		Thus, the radar measurements from each satellite mission need to be calibrated and connected continuously and independently of the system that produced them.
		The primary objective of this project is the establishment of an absolute sea level monitoring and altimeter calibration facility on the isle of Gavdos, south of the island of Crete, Greece.
		The GAVDOS project will determine consistently and reliably (1) the altimeter biases and drifts for each of these missions and (2) the bias among different missions.

		The isle of Gavdhos, situated south of the island of Crete, Greece, has been selected in the framework of the EU project GAVDOS to host absolute sea level monitoring and altimeter calibration facitilies due to its offshore location under a crossover point of the Topex/Poseidon and Jason-1.
		Detailed regional geoid and Sea surface topography (SST) models are required for referencing the satellite altimeter measurements over the calibration facility and for studying the regional sea current circulation.
		This objective will be achieved by carrying out a regional airborne survey, combining gravimetric and laser profiling.
