Niger discharge from radar altimetry: bridging gaps between gauge and altimetry time series [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2019 The Niger River represents a challenging target for deriving discharge from spaceborne radar altimeter measurements, particularly since most terrestrial gauges ceased to provide data during the 2000s. Here, we propose deriving altimetric rating curves by

Time-evolving mass loss of the Greenland Ice Sheet from satellite altimetry [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2014 Mass changes of the Greenland Ice Sheet may be estimated by the input–output method (IOM), satellite gravimetry, or via surface elevation change rates (dH/dt).
