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 ...

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 ...

Bayesian Estimation of Smooth Altimetric Parameters: Application to Conventional and Delay/Doppler Altimetry [PDF]
International audienceThis paper proposes a new Bayesian strategy for the smooth estimation of altimetric parameters. The altimetric signal is assumed to be corrupted by a thermal and speckle noise distributed according to an independent and non ...

Modulation of Eddy Kinetic Energy by Seasonal Extension of the Eastern Weddell Gyre
Abstract Active eddies in the eastern Weddell Gyre (WG) facilitate water mass exchange between the WG and warmer Antarctic Circumpolar Current, driving warm inflow into the WG. Using observations and data‐assimilating model output, the impact of seasonal extension of the eastern WG on the local eddy kinetic energy (EKE) field was investigated.

Abstract In the Arctic, mesoscale ocean processes occur at much smaller scales (5–60 km) than at mid‐latitudes (50–100 km), and conventional altimetry thus only resolves the largest of these signals. Here we show how high‐resolution measurements from the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite can be used in conjunction with conventional ...

EUMETSAT Invitation To Tender 14/209556: JASON-CS SAR Mode Sea State Bias Study. Final report [PDF]
This document represents the final report of a study funded by EUMETSAT about SAR mode Sea State Bias (SSB) for the Sentinel-6/Jason-CS mission. The study comprises a critical review of SSB estimation methods in conventional (low-resolution mode or LRM ...

Slope Correction for Ocean SAR Altimetry
Abstract Since the 2010 launch of Cryosat‐2, a new generation of altimeters, referred to as SAR altimetry, has emerged and partially replaced the previous conventional altimeters known as Low Resolution Mode (LRM) altimetry. A surface slope correction has been previously developed for LRM altimetry.

In the summer of 2020, ESA changed the orbit of CryoSat‐2 to align periodically with NASA's ICESat‐2 mission, a campaign known as CRYO2ICE, which allows for near‐coincident CryoSat‐2 and ICESat‐2 observations in space and time over the Arctic until ...

Extension of the Molniya orbit using low-thrust propulsion [PDF]
Extension of the standard Molniya orbit using low-thrust propulsion is presented. These newly proposed, highly elliptical orbits are enabled by existing low-thrust propulsion technology, enabling new Earth Observation science and offering a new set of ...

Abstract Accurate simulation of reservoir outflow is essential for integrated water resource management. However, the limited availability of operational data for reservoirs often hinder the accuracy of outflow simulations. Satellite remote sensing, combined with water balance approaches, provides an effective solution for calculating outflows. However,
