Sea state bias (SSB) correction is a relatively uncertain error correction due to the lack of a clear theoretical model. At present, the commonly used methods for SSB correction are polynomial models (parametric models) and non-parametric models. The non-parametric model usually was constructed by collinear data. However, the amount of collinear data was enormous, and it contained redundant information. In this study, the non-parametric regression estimation model was optimized by using the parameter replacement method of ascending and descending tracks based on the crossover data. In this method, significant wave heights from the Jason-2 altimeter data during cycles 200\u2013301 and wind speed from the ERA5 reanalysis data were used. The non-parametric regression estimation model of Jason-2 was constructed by combining it with local linear regression, Epanechnikov kernel function and local window width. At the same time, based on the significant wave height and wind speed at the crossover points, the SSB polynomial model containing six parameters was constructed by using the Taylor series expansion, and the model was optimized. By comparing polynomial model construction with different parameters, the optimized model was obtained. The SSH of the crossover points and the tide gauge records were used to validate these results derived from two models and GDR. Compared with the crossover discrepancies of SSH corrected by the polynomial model, the RMS of the crossover discrepancies of SSH corrected by the non-parametric regression estimation model was reduced by 7.9%. Compared with the crossover discrepancies of SSH corrected by the conventional non-parametric model from GDR, the RMS of the crossover discrepancies of SSH corrected by the non-parametric regression estimation model was reduced by 4.1%. This shows that the precision of the SSHs derived by after the SSB correction, as calculated by the non-parametric regression estimation model, was better than that of the polynomial model and the SSB correction from GDR. Using the Jason-2 altimeter data, the along-track geoid gradient and the sea level change rate of the global ocean were determined by using two models to correct the SSB. By comparing the results of the two models, the accuracy of the geoid gradient along the orbit that was obtained by the non-parametric regression estimation model was better than that of the polynomial model and GDR. The global average sea level change rate after the non-parametric regression estimation model correction was 3.47 \u00b1 0.09 mm\/y, which was the closest to the average sea level change rate that has been published in the international literature within this field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15102666","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,22]],"date-time":"2023-05-22T02:00:27Z","timestamp":1684720827000},"page":"2666","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["On Modelling Sea State Bias of Jason-2 Altimeter Data Based on Significant Wave Heights and Wind Speeds"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1817-1505","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jinyun","family":"Guo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geodesy and Geomatics, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huiying","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geodesy and Geomatics, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geodesy and Geomatics, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chengcheng","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Shandong Jianzhu University, Jinan 250101, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geodesy and Geomatics, Shandong University of Science and Technology, Qingdao 266590, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Jin, T.
