Polar Ocean Tides—Revisited Using Cryosat-2
Remote Sensing, 2023 With the availability of more than 9 years of Cryosat-2, it is possible to revisit polar ocean tides, which have traditionally been difficult to determine from satellite altimetry.

Evaluation and Validation of CryoSat-2-Derived Water Levels Using In Situ Lake Data from China
Remote Sensing, 2019 CryoSat-2 altimetry has become a valuable tool for monitoring the water level of lakes. In this study, a concentrated probability density function (PDF) method was proposed for preprocessing CryoSat-2 Geophysical Data Record (GDR) data.

CryoSat-2 Altimetry Applications over Rivers and Lakes [PDF]
Water (Switzerland), 2017 Monitoring the variation of rivers and lakes is of great importance. Satellite radar altimetry is a promising technology to do this on a regional to global scale. Satellite radar altimetry data has been used successfully to observe water levels in lakes and (large) rivers, and has also been combined with hydrologic/hydrodynamic models. Except CryoSat-2,

Evaluation of new CryoSat-2 products over the ocean [PDF]
Remote Sensing of Environment, 2017 The CryoSat-2 satellite, primarily dedicated to precise monitoring of the Cryosphere, is demonstrating its capability to provide valuable altimetric data also over the ocean. Here we present the results of a global assessment and validation of the new Geophysical Ocean Product (GOP) distributed by the European Space Agency (ESA) since April 2014 ...

The coastal mean dynamic topography in Norway observed by CryoSat-2 and GOCE [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 AbstractNew‐generation synthetic aperture radar altimetry, as implemented on CryoSat‐2, observes sea surface heights in coastal areas that were previously not monitored by conventional altimetry. Therefore, CryoSat‐2 is expected to improve the coastal mean dynamic topography (MDT). However, the MDT remains highly reliant on the geoid.

Estimating Arctic Sea Ice Thickness with CryoSat-2 Altimetry Data Using the Least Squares Adjustment Method [PDF]
Sensors, 2020 Satellite altimeters can be used to derive long-term and large-scale sea ice thickness changes. Sea ice thickness retrieval is based on measurements of freeboard, and the conversion of freeboard to thickness requires knowledge of the snow depth and snow,
