Impact of snow accumulation on CryoSat-2 range retrievals over Arctic sea ice: An observational approach with buoy data [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2015
Radar altimetry measurements of the current satellite mission CryoSat-2 show an increase of Arctic sea ice thickness in autumn 2013, compared to previous years but also related to March 2013.

CryoSat-2 - Four Years of Operations

SpaceOps 2014 Conference, 2014
The CryoSat-2 spacecraft is one of the Earth Explorer Opportunity missions of the ESA Living Planet programme. It is operated by the European Space Operations Centre, in Darmstadt. The CryoSat Mission objective, fulfilled by the CryoSat-2 satellite, is to provide global continuous measurements of the ice cover variations on the Polar caps and ...

Evaluation of multi-mode CryoSat-2 altimetry data over the Po River against in situ data and a hydrodynamic model

open access: yesAdvances in Water Resources, 2018
Coverage of in situ observations to monitor surface waters is insufficient on the global scale, and decreasing across the globe. Satellite altimetry has become an increasingly important monitoring technology for continental surface waters.

Improvement of a radiation model for Cryosat-2

2014
In this paper we discuss the precision orbit modeling of Cryosat-2 launched on 8-April-2010 to map the cryosphere with an advanced radar altimeter system. The satellite is tracked with laser and DORIS for which we find residuals of 1.58 cm and 0.4 mm/sec respectively.

CryoSat-2 Ocean Altimetry Assessment

2017
CryoSat-2 was launched on the 8th of April 2010, the primary purpose of the mission is to measure sea ice thickness, however the mission is also able to monitor land ice volume variations and ocean height changes. The primary instrument is the Siral altimeter, it comes with an unprecedented accuracy and precision capable of measuring in a low ...

The Performance and Potentials of the CryoSat-2 SAR and SARIn Modes for Lake Level Estimation [PDF]

open access: yesWater (Switzerland), 2017
Over the last few decades, satellite altimetry has proven to be valuable for monitoring lake levels. With the new generation of altimetry missions, CryoSat-2 and Sentinel-3, which operate in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and SAR Interferometric (SARIn ...
