Joint inversion estimate of regional glacial isostatic adjustment in Antarctica considering a lateral varying Earth structure (ESA STSE Project REGINA) [PDF]
A major uncertainty in determining the mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet from measurements of satellite gravimetry, and to a lesser extent satellite altimetry, is the poorly known correction for the ongoing deformation of the solid Earth caused by

Satellite altimetry and operational oceanography: from Jason-1 to SWOT [PDF]
The development and evolution of satellite altimetry and operational oceanography are very closely linked. By providing all weather, global, and real-time observations of sea level, a key variable to constrain ocean analysis and forecasting systems ...

Impact of Ocean Domain Definition on Sea Level Budget
Total sea level changes from space radar altimetry are mainly decomposed into two contributions of mass addition and volume expansion of oceans, measured by GRACE space gravimeter and Argo float array, respectively.

Eddy Dynamics From Satellite Altimetry [PDF]
Most of the kinetic energy of ocean circulation is contained in ubiquitous mesoscale eddies. Their prominent signatures in sea surface height have rendered satellite altimetry highly effective in observing global ocean eddies. Our knowledge of ocean eddy dynamics has grown by leaps and bounds since the advent of satellite altimetry in the early 1980s ...

Current state of art of satellite altimetry
One of the fundamental problems of modern geodesy is precise defi nition of the gravitational fi eld and its changes in time. This is essential in positioning and navigation, geophysics, geodynamics, oceanography and other sciences related to the climate

Quantifying Surface‐Height Change Over a Periglacial Environment With ICESat‐2 Laser Altimetry
We use Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite 2 (ICESat‐2) laser altimetry crossovers and repeat tracks collected over the North Slope of Alaska to estimate ground surface‐height change due to the seasonal freezing and thawing of the active layer.

Jets and Topography: Jet Transitions and the Impact on Transport in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current [PDF]
The Southern Ocean’s Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) naturally lends itself to interpretations using a zonally averaged framework. Yet, navigation around steep and complicated bathymetric obstacles suggests that local dynamics may be far removed from

Improved Determination of Europa's Long‐Wavelength Topography Using Stellar Occultations
Europa Clipper will arrive at Jupiter at the end of this decade and will explore Europa through a series of flybys. One of its many goals is to characterize Europa's topography and global shape using the Europa Imaging System and Radar for Europa ...
