Small and Medium‐Sized Inland Waterbodies: Water Volume Predictions and Flood Implications
Abstract Small (<10 ha) and medium (10–100 ha) inland waterbodies are crucial for water storage and flood regulation, necessitating an improved understanding of their water volume. Traditional water volume measurement methods, modeling techniques, and advanced altimetry missions struggle to capture the non‐linear volume changes in these waterbodies ...

A year-round satellite sea-ice thickness record from CryoSat-2
Arctic sea ice is diminishing with climate warming1 at a rate unmatched for at least 1,000 years2. As the receding ice pack raises commercial interest in the Arctic3, it has become more variable and mobile4, which increases safety risks to maritime users5.

Comparison of sea-ice freeboard distributions from aircraft data and cryosat-2 [PDF]
The only remote sensing technique capable of obtain- ing sea-ice thickness on basin-scale are satellite altime- ter missions, such as the 2010 launched CryoSat-2.

Simulations with the sea ice model CICE documenting the impact of improved sea ice physics [PDF]
Sea ice thickness data (CryoSat-2) have been used to identify and correct shortcomings in simulating winter ice growth in the widely used sea ice model CICE.

The Sea Surface Height Spectrum of Internal Waves
Abstract Internal waves and geostrophic motions contribute to sea surface height (SSH) variability at scales order 100 km and smaller. Although geostrophic motions have a well‐defined contribution in SSH, the internal wave contribution is complex and small enough to be confounded with noise.

A recent event in the Bering Sea during 2017–2020 saw localised anomalies of increased storminess and record minimums of wintertime sea ice that influenced a major ecosystem reorganisation. We propose a teleconnection between northern North Pacific positive sea surface temperatures (SST) and Bering Sea conditions, mediated by the position of the ...

This paper estimates lake level variations over two small and adjacent lakes in the Tibetan plateau (TP), namely Gemang Co and Zhangnai Co, as well as the inland Dianchi Lake in China using CryoSat-2 SARIn-mode and LRM 20-Hz waveforms over the period of ...

Impact assessment of snow thickness, sea ice density and water density in CryoSat-2-derived sea ice thickness [PDF]
Sea ice thickness is an essential climate variable, which is often derived from satellite altimetry freeboard estimates, e.g., by CryoSat-2. In order to convert freeboard to sea ice thickness, assumptions are needed for snow thickness, snow density, sea ...

Including antenna mispointing in a semi-analytical model for delay/Doppler altimetry [PDF]
International audienceDelay/Doppler altimetry aims at reducing the measurementnoise and increasing the along-track resolution in comparison with conventional pulse limited altimetry. In a previous paper, we have proposed a semi-analytical model for delay/

Abstract The wave‐affected Marginal Ice Zones (MIZ) is a key region of air‐ice‐ocean interactions in the Southern Ocean (SO). However, challenges still remain for the large‐scale observation of the MIZ. In this study, we use four concurrent radar altimeters to retrieve the wave‐affected MIZ in the eastern Weddell Sea‐Indian Ocean sector, which was ...
