Water level analysis in Tibet using CryoSat-2
, 2019 While the water level monitoring inTibet suffers data gaps due to insufficient in situ gauge stations, the satellite altimetry serves as an efficient alternative. In this work, measurements from the CryoSat-2 mission are employed and analyzed to determine water level time series in various lakes throughout Tibetan region. The time series are calculated

CryoSat-2 Sea-Ice Freeboard and Thickness
, 2013 The understanding and predictability of the observed decline of Arctic sea ice depends on the knowledge of its mass balance in a warming environment. While sea ice extent is monitored by passive microwave sensors for decades, only recently its volume is measured by basin-scale sea ice thickness observations of satellite altimetry missions.
