Current state of art of satellite altimetry [PDF]
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

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 ...

Satellite altimetry measures the topography of the sea surface, with high-resolution, global coverage and short revisit time. Since the very first missions in the mid-1970s, the accuracy of a single sea surface height measurement has increased by a ...

High-resolution airborne observations of sea-ice pressure ridge sail height
Pressure ridges impact the mass, energy and momentum budgets of the sea-ice cover and present an obstacle to transportation through ice-infested waters. Quantifying ridge characteristics is important for understanding total sea-ice mass and for improving

Integration of HF Radar Observations for an Enhanced Coastal Mean Dynamic Topography
Satellite altimeters provide continuous information of the sea level variability and mesoscale processes for the global ocean. For estimating the sea level above the geoid and monitoring the full ocean dynamics from altimeters measurements, a key ...

Sea state and rain: a second take on dual-frequency altimetry [PDF]
TOPEX and Jason were the first two dual-frequency altimeters in space, with both operating at Ku- and C-band. Each thus gives two measurements of the normalized backscatter, sigma0, (from which wind speed is calculated) and two estimates of wave height ...

VALIDATION OF SPACEBORNE RADAR MULTI-ANGLE METHOD FOR THE SEA SURFACE OIL POLLUTIONS DIAGNOSTICS [PDF]
In the article the validation of the multiangle method for spaceborne radar diagnostics of oil pollutions on the sea surface are described. The validation was performed by comparing the radar estimates of the mass and thickness of the polluted oil film ...
