Comparison of Integrating GF-7 and ICESat-2 Laser Altimetry Data with High-resolution Stereo Images for Stereo Mapping [PDF]

open access: yesISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
Currently, two types of satellite laser altimetry systems are in operation: the full waveform linear system and the single-photon-counting system, which exhibit significant differences in both data format and processing methodologies.

Modeling Envisat RA-2 waveforms in the coastal zone: case-study of calm water contamination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Radar altimeters have so far had limited use in the coastal zone, the area with most societal impact. This is due to both lack of, or insufficient accuracy in the necessary corrections, and more complicated altimeter signals. This paper examines waveform

Relating Agulhas leakage to the Agulhas Current retroflection location [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The relation between the Agulhas Current retroflection location and the magnitude of Agulhas leakage, the transport of water from the Indian to the Atlantic Ocean, is investigated in a high-resolution numerical ocean model.

Data-Driven Calibration Algorithm and Pre-Launch Performance Simulations for the SWOT Mission

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission will be affected by various sources of systematic errors, which are correlated in space and in time. Their amplitude before calibration might be as large as tens of centimeters, i.e., able to dominate

Sea state bias in altimeter sea level estimates determined by combining wave model and satellite data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This study documents a method for increasing the precision of satellite-derived sea level measurements. Results are achieved using an enhanced three-dimensional (3-D) sea state bias (SSB) correction model derived from both Jason-1 altimeter ocean ...

Sentinel-3A SRAL Global Statistical Assessment and Cross-Calibration with Jason-3

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
The Sentinel-3A satellite, equipped with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Altimeter (SRAL) instrument to derive sea surface height, significant wave height and surface wind speed over the global ocean, was launched on 16 February 2016.

Evaluating the Retreat, Arrest, and Regrowth of Crane Glacier Against Marine Ice Cliff Process Models

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
The fastest projected rates of sea level rise appear in models which include “the marine ice cliff instability (MICI),” a hypothesized but mostly unobserved process defined by rapid fracture and wastage of terminal ice cliffs that outpaces viscous ...

Validation of airborne and satellite altimetry data by Arctic Trucks citizen science

open access: yesGEUS Bulletin, 2021
The elevation of ice sheets changes due to climate change, and satellite altimetry is the preferred tool for measuring ice sheet-wide height changes. In situ validation is needed to ensure the quality of the observed elevation changes, but the cost often

Satellite mapping of the Antarctic gravity field

open access: yesAnnals of Geophysics, 1999
The production and analysis of the Antarctic digital magnetic anomaly map will be greatly aided by complementary gravity data. They help to constrain thickness variations of the crust and related magnetic effects that may be used for correcting long ...

Retrieval of Snow Depth on Arctic Sea Ice From Surface‐Based, Polarimetric, Dual‐Frequency Radar Altimetry

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Snow depth on sea ice is an Essential Climate Variable and a major source of uncertainty in satellite altimetry‐derived sea ice thickness. During winter of the MOSAiC Expedition, the “KuKa” dual‐frequency, fully polarized Ku‐ and Ka‐band radar was ...
