Tibetan Plateau's Lake Level and Volume Changes From NASA's ICESat/ICESat‐2 and Landsat Missions
AbstractLake level change is an effective indicator of climate change, because it reflects the dynamic balance of water input and loss. Here we provide a first look of Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite‐2 (ICESat‐2) on the lakes of the Tibetan Plateau. ICESat‐2 doubles the number of lakes observed using predecessor ICESat data.

ICESAT-2 ALTIMETRY AS GEODETIC CONTROL [PDF]
Digital elevation models (DEMs) are of fundamental importance for a large variety of scientific and commercial applications. Many geoscience studies require the most precise and current information about the Earth’s topography.

ICESat laser altimetry over small mountain glaciers [PDF]
Using sparsely glaciated southern Norway as a case study, we assess the potential and limitations of ICESat laser altimetry for analysing regional glacier elevation change in rough mountain terrain.

Increased Ice Thinning over Svalbard Measured by ICESat/ICESat-2 Laser Altimetry [PDF]
A decade-long pronounced increase in temperatures in the Arctic, especially in the Barents Sea region, resulted in a global warming hotspot over Svalbard. Associated changes in the cryosphere are the consequence and lead to a demand for monitoring of the glacier changes.

ICESat‐2 Precision Orbit Determination [PDF]
AbstractThe ICESat‐2 Precision Orbit Determination (POD) system computes the precise position of the laser altimeter instrument in inertial space, a measurement necessary for accurate geolocation of individual photon surface returns. ICESat‐2 POD solutions are generated by the reduction of Global Positioning System (GPS) double‐difference carrier phase

A new Arctic MSS model derived from combined Cryosat-2 and ICESat observations
Due to the existence of seasonal or perennial sea ice cover, the determination of the Arctic sea surface is more difficult than that of mid-low latitudinal oceans.

REVIEW OF NOISE FILTERING ALGORITHM FOR PHOTON DATA [PDF]
As a continuation of Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-1 (ICESat-1)/Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS), the Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) , which is equipped with the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter (ATLAS ...

Satellites are launched frequently to monitor the Earth’s dynamic surface processes. For example, the Landsat legacy has thrived for the past 50 years, spanning almost the entire application spectrum of Earth Sciences. On the other hand, fewer satellites
