Classification of CryoSat-2 Radar Echoes [PDF]
, 2015 Sea-ice thickness at global scale is an important variable in the polar climate system. Only satellite altimeters such as onboard the CryoSat-2 mission allow us to obtain sea-ice thickness on hemispherical scale. Accurate CryoSat-2 altimeter range measurements provide surface elevations which have to be referenced to the local sea level to obtain sea ...

Comparison of CryoSat-2 and ENVISAT radar freeboard over Arctic sea ice: toward an improved Envisat freeboard retrieval [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2017 Over the past decade, sea-ice freeboard has been monitored with various satellite altimetric missions with the aim of producing long-term time series of ice thickness.

Antarctic grounding zone characteristics from CryoSat-2 [PDF]
, 2019 Abstract. We present the results of mapping the limit of tidal flexure (point F) and hydrostatic equilibrium (point H) of the grounding zone of Antarctic ice shelves from CryoSat-2 standard and swath elevation data. Overall we were able to map 41 % of the grounding zone of the larger floating ice shelves and outlet glaciers in Antarctica.

A high resolution record of Greenland mass balance [PDF]
, 2016 We map recent Greenland Ice Sheet elevation change at high spatial (5-km) and temporal (monthly) resolution using CryoSat-2 altimetry. After correcting for the impact of changing snowpack properties associated with unprecedented surface melting in 2012 ...

Joint inversion estimate of regional glacial isostatic adjustment in Antarctica considering a lateral varying Earth structure (ESA STSE Project REGINA) [PDF]
, 2017 A major uncertainty in determining the mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet from measurements of satellite gravimetry, and to a lesser extent satellite altimetry, is the poorly known correction for the ongoing deformation of the solid Earth caused by

CryoSat-2 waveform classification for melt event monitoring
Proceedings of the Northern Lights Deep Learning Workshop, 2022 Measuring the mass balance of ice sheets is important with respect to understanding among others sea level rise, glacier dynamics, global ocean circulation and marine ecosystems. One important parameter of the mass balance is surface melt, which can be estimated from different satellite data sources.

Coastal sea level from inland CryoSat‐2 interferometric SAR altimetry [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2015 AbstractThe European Space Agency's CryoSat‐2 satellite can operate in a novel synthetic aperture radar interferometric (SARIn) mode where its nominal footprint (swath) is observed by two antennas and the phase difference between the signals is used to determination the exact location of the scatterer through an off‐nadir correction.
