The direct and indirect calibration experiences made at the Cape of Begur area in 1999, 2000 and 2002, for Topex/Poseidon and at the Ibiza island in 2003 have contributed to the international campaigns made at Harvest (USA), Corsica (France) and Bass (Australia). The main objective of IBIZA 2003 campaign has been the determination of the instantaneous sea surface/marine geoid gradient along Jason-1 tracks using a GPS catamaran and a network of GPS located in Portinatx and Ibiza and San Antonio harbours. The marine geoid will be used to relate the tide gauge coastal data with the altimeter data. We present the first results obtained with static and kinematic analysis of the data using different softwares.
