If you have WWW access, check out:
   http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/announcements/announce_predict.HTML

The paper announced there is by Sandwell and Smith, but it is the same
idea.  The main satellite used seems to be GEOSAT.  There are lots of nifty
JPEGs at this site, and not just associated with this project;  also stuff
like the age of sub-ocean crust, ocean sediment thickness, etc.
