The present work is devoted to the study of the possibility of remote determination from the satellite of the skewness of the sea surface elevations. The factors limiting the possibility of restoring the skewness of the sea surface distribution by retracking altimeter waveforms are considered. We have shown the existing technique for calculating the distribution parameters could not fully take into account the effect of high wave crests on the shape of the reflected radio impulse. This leads to a distortion of the skewness values obtained from altimetry data. We have also shown the error in determining the skewness depends on the choice of the probability density function model. It also depends on the magnitude of the kurtosis of sea surface elevations. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
