Deriving Snow Depth From ICESat-2 Lidar Multiple Scattering Measurements: Uncertainty Analyses

Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2022
The application of diffusion theory and Monte Carlo lidar radiative transfer simulations presented in Part I of this series of study suggests that snow depth can be derived from the first-, second- and third-order moments of the lidar backscattering ...

Monitoring Reservoir Storage Using SWOT Satellite Observations and a Reservoir Operation Model

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Reservoirs play a critical role in water management, yet comprehensive and real‐time observations of reservoir storage remain limited, especially outside the U.S. Observations of two reservoir‐related attributes, Water Surface Elevation (WSE) and Surface Area (SA), which can be used to calculate reservoir storage change, are often ...

Potentialities and Limits of ICESAT-2 Observation for Atmospheric Aerosol Investigation

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
ICESat-2(Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2), slated for launch in 2017, will continue the important observations of ice-sheet elevation change, sea-ice freeboard, and vegetation canopy height begun by ICESat in 2003.

Two orders of wall‐to‐wall geographic data

Area, Volume 58, Issue 1, March 2026.
Short Abstract The use of the term ‘wall‐to‐wall’ to describe geographically extensive data without any singular definition in the remote sensing and geographically related analysis. This work presents an assessment of the application of the term in the scientific literature. Abstract From personal observations of recent published works, the term “wall‐

Impact of Slopes on ICESat-2 Elevation Accuracy Along the CHINARE Route in East Antarctica

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022
As the follow-on study to the assessment of ICESat-2 ice surface elevations, we assessed how they are influenced by the surface slopes, which are derived from the ICESat-2 elevations of the received photons and available in the land-ice surface heights ...

Integrating SWOT With Multi‐Source Satellite Observations for Near‐Daily Reservoir Water Level Monitoring

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Reservoirs play a crucial role in global water resource management. Monitoring reservoir hydrologic dynamics is critical for assessing climate variability and anthropogenic regulation. However, traditional satellite altimetry faces multiple challenges hindering high frequency and accuracy water level monitoring.

Lead and Floe Detection From CryoSat‐2 Radar and ICESat‐2 Laser Altimetry

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Differences in satellite sampling affect their ability to resolve small‐scale features over Arctic sea ice. For CryoSat‐2 (CS2) and ICESat‐2 (IS2) these differences are driven by geometric (footprint resolution) and radiometric (radar or laser) sampling.
