The purpose was to estimatethe degree of accuracy between the dierent instru-ments. Statistical properties of Hs as obtained fromthe altimeters are found to be compatible with thosefrom in situ measurements in the North Atlantic. AllHs data sets are tted to appropriate distributionfunctions. Furthermore, an assessment and valida-tion of Hs retrieved from ERS-1 SAR Wave Mode(SWM) data with spatially and temporally colloc-ated altimeter data from ERS-1 and TOPEX dur-ing 1994 is given. The values of SWM-retrievedmonthly mean Hs are generally higher than thoseof the ERS-1 altimeter and lower than those of theTOPEX altimeter. The SWM-retrieved Hs agreebetter with TOPEX altimeter data, than with theERS-1 altimeter data. Regional comparison are per-formed and an attempt is made to investigate thediering behaviour of pure windsea and swell.Keywords: global signicant wave heights; SEASAT,GEOSAT, ERS-1 and TOPEX altimeter; higher or-der L-moments; ERS-1 SAR wave mode; spectral re-trieval algorithm; windsea and swell partitioning.1.
