The spatial and temporal variations in dual crossovers (DXO) data between ERS-2 and TOPEX/Poseidon are identified for three orbital computations for ERS-2. The differences between the orbits and underlying gravity field result in non-zero means in the first-order spherical harmonic coefficients. Temporal variability is observed particularly at the annual cycle but the amplitude is orbital dependent with the DPAF orbits on the ERS-2 CD ROMs showing the largest annual signal. It is concluded that improvement in consistency between ERS-2 and TOPEX may be achieved by multi-satellite orbit computations where the two orbits are connected by dual crossover data.
