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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Altimetry-derived surface water data assimilation over the Nile Basin

open access: yes, 2020
Global hydrological models facilitate studying of water resources and their variations over time. The accuracies of these models are enhanced when combined with ever-increasing satellite remotely sensed data.

On the resolutions of ocean altimetry maps [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Science, 2019
Abstract. The DUACS system produces sea level global and regional maps that serve oceanographic applications, climate forecasting centers, geophysics and biology communities. These maps are constructed from optimal interpolation of altimeter observations and are provided on a global 1/4° × 1/4° (longitude × latitude) and daily grid resolution framework

Thermohaline variability of AAIW in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean investigated using an Altimetry Gravest Empirical Mode [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The southeast Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean connects the Atlantic with the Indian Ocean and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, thereby acting as a major conduit within global ocean circulation.

MORPHOMETRIC ASPECTS IN THE BÂRLAD BASIN [PDF]

open access: yesAerul şi Apa: Componente ale Mediului, 2015
Bârlad valley morphometry is strongly influenced by lithology, geological structure and climatic conditions. Between its springs and the outflow we noticed notable deviations from valley monocline structure and from the consecvent overall direction of ...

Increased Ice Thinning over Svalbard Measured by ICESat/ICESat-2 Laser Altimetry

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
A decade-long pronounced increase in temperatures in the Arctic, especially in the Barents Sea region, resulted in a global warming hotspot over Svalbard. Associated changes in the cryosphere are the consequence and lead to a demand for monitoring of the

Increasing urban flash flood risk attributable to both climate and development

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A new event impact attribution methodology that combines convection‐permitting climate model data with flood inundation modelling was used for a five‐hour flash‐flooding event in the suburbs of Leeds in 2014. The results show increased urban flood extent due to both climate change (+16%) and increased urbanisation (+29%).
