CryoSat-2 - Four Years of Operations
SpaceOps 2014 Conference, 2014The 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 new CryoSat-2 products over the ocean
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 ...

Validation of CryoSat-2 SAR mode based lake levels
Remote Sensing of Environment, 2015Lake level serve as an important indicator of the climate and continuous measurements are therefore essential. Satellite radar altimetry has now been used successfully for more than two decades to measure lake level as an addition to gauge measurements.

Increased ice losses from Antarctica detected by CryoSat-2
Geophysical Research Letters, 2014 We use 3years of Cryosat-2 radar altimeter data to develop the first comprehensive assessment of Antarctic ice sheet elevation change. This new data set provides near-continuous (96%) coverage of the entire continent, extending to within 215 km of the South Pole and leading to a fivefold increase in the sampling of coastal regions where the vast ...

CryoSat-2 Ocean Altimetry Assessment
2016CryoSat-2 was launched April 2010 and has been monitoring the Earth’s cryosphere and oceans since with unprecedented accuracy and precision by an ice-dedicated altimeter capable of measuring in LRM, SAR and SARin mode. In this paper we validate CryoSat-2 LRM, RDSAR, IOP and GOP ocean data and assess their quality in comparison with other altimeters by ...

CryoSat-2 Ocean Altimetry Assessment
2017CryoSat-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 ...

Point-to-point ICESat-2 vs CryoSat-2 comparison
2021<p>For measuring the mass balance of mountain glaciers, the combination of ICESat-2 and CryoSat-2 data holds the potential to improve both spatial and temporal coverage and measurement quality. Both satellite missions are dedicated to measuring the surface elevation in the cryosphere and complement each other.
