Roll Calibration for CryoSat-2: A Comprehensive Approach [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 CryoSat-2 is the first satellite mission carrying a high pulse repetition frequency radar altimeter with interferometric capability on board. Across track interferometry allows the angle to the point of closest approach to be determined by combining ...

Synthesis of the ICESat/ICESat-2 and CryoSat-2 observations to reconstruct time series of lake level
International Journal of Digital Earth, 2023 Synthesis of multi-satellite altimetry facilitates the acquisition of long-term changes in lake level but may induce biases due to inconsistent data sources, and thus remains largely unexplored.

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.

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 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.

Coastal sea level from CryoSat-2 SARIn altimetry in Norway
Advances in Space Research, 2018 Abstract Conventional (pulse-limited) altimeters determine the sea surface height with an accuracy of a few centimeters over the open ocean. Sea surface heights and tide-gauge sea level serve as each other’s buddy check. However, in coastal areas, altimetry suffers from numerous effects, which degrade its quality.

Comparing elevation and backscatter retrievals from CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 over Arctic summer sea ice [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 The CryoSat-2 radar altimeter and ICESat-2 laser altimeter can provide complementary measurements of the freeboard and thickness of Arctic sea ice. However, both sensors face significant challenges for accurately measuring the ice freeboard when the sea ...

Satellite altimetry detection of ice-shelf-influenced fast ice [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 The outflow of supercooled Ice Shelf Water from the conjoined Ross and McMurdo ice shelf cavity augments fast ice thickness and forms a thick sub-ice platelet layer in McMurdo Sound.
