Key Equations

$$\text{SSH} = h_{\text{orbit}} - R - \Delta R_{\text{iono}} - \Delta R_{\text{tropo}}^{\text{wet}} - \Delta R_{\text{tropo}}^{\text{dry}} - \Delta R_{\text{tide}} - \Delta R_{\text{IB}}$$
$$u_g = -\frac{g}{f}\frac{\partial \eta}{\partial y}, \quad v_g = \frac{g}{f}\frac{\partial \eta}{\partial x}$$
$$\log_{10}[\text{Chl-}a] = a_0 + \sum_{i=1}^{4} a_i \left(\log_{10}\frac{R_{rs}(\lambda_{\text{blue}})}{R_{rs}(\lambda_{\text{green}})}\right)^i$$
$$L_t = L_a + t_d L_r + t_d t_u L_w$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
