[1] High frequency (2–20 days) sea level fluctuations, driven by atmospheric pressure
 changes, must be eliminated from TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter data, else these data sampled
 at 10-day interval will suffer aliasing when interpreted as lower frequency variability of the subsurface
 pressure and circulation. A simple analytic Helmholtz-like model [Lyu et al., 2002], which explains
 successfully the nonisostatic sea level response in the Japan/East Sea (JES), is applied to correct
 the high-frequency sea level fluctuation effects on the T/P data. The model removes these  ...
