Antarctic ice shelf thickness from CryoSat‐2 radar altimetry [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2015 AbstractIce shelf thickness for the whole of Antarctica is derived from 4 years (2011–2014) of CryoSat‐2 (CS2) radar altimetry measurements using the assumption that the shelves are in hydrostatic equilibrium. The satellite orbit and novel synthetic aperture radar interferometric mode of CS2 results in 92.3% data coverage over the ice shelves, with ...

Intercomparisons and Evaluations of Satellite-Derived Arctic Sea Ice Thickness Products
Remote SensingCurrently, Arctic sea ice thickness (SIT) data with extensive spatiotemporal coverage primarily comes from satellite observations, including CryoSat-2, Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS), and the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2).

Estimating snow depth over Arctic sea ice from calibrated dual-frequency radar freeboards [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 Snow depth on sea ice remains one of the largest uncertainties in sea ice thickness retrievals from satellite altimetry. Here we outline an approach for deriving snow depth that can be applied to any coincident freeboard measurements after calibration

Joint inversion estimate of regional glacial isostatic adjustment in Antarctica considering a lateral varying Earth structure (ESA STSE Project REGINA) [PDF]
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

Greenland 2012 melt event effects on CryoSat‐2 radar altimetry [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2015 AbstractCryoSat‐2 data are used to study elevation changes over an area in the interior part of the Greenland Ice Sheet during the extreme melt event in July 2012. The penetration of the radar signal into dry snow depends heavily on the snow stratigraphy, and the rapid formation of refrozen ice layers can bias the surface elevations obtained from radar

GPD+ Wet Tropospheric Corrections for CryoSat-2 and GFO Altimetry Missions [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2016 Due to its large space-time variability, the wet tropospheric correction (WTC) is still considered a significant error source in satellite altimetry. This paper presents the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) derived Path Delay Plus (GPD+), the most recent algorithm developed at the University of Porto to retrieve improved WTC for radar ...
