Current state of art of satellite altimetry
Geodesy and Cartography, 2017 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]
Ocean ScienceThe 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 ...

, 2019 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 ...

Sea state and rain: a second take on dual-frequency altimetry [PDF]
, 2004 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 ...

Impact of Ocean Domain Definition on Sea Level Budget
Remote Sensing, 2021 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.

Quantifying Surface‐Height Change Over a Periglacial Environment With ICESat‐2 Laser Altimetry
Earth and Space Science, 2021 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.

Improved Determination of Europa's Long‐Wavelength Topography Using Stellar Occultations
Earth and Space Science, 2021 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 ...
