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

Antarctic Ice Sheet and Radar Altimetry: A Review [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2009 Altimetry is probably one of the most powerful tools for ice sheet observation. Our vision of the Antarctic ice sheet has been deeply transformed since the launch of the ERS1 satellite in 1991. With the launch of ERS2 and Envisat, the series of altimetric observations now provides 19 years of continuous and homogeneous observations that allow ...

Greenland Ice Sheet Mass Balance (1992–2020) From Calibrated Radar Altimetry
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 We present the first 1992–2020 record of Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) mass balance derived from multisatellite Ku‐band altimetry. We employ an empirical approach as an alternative detailed to radar‐propagation modeling, and instead convert elevation ...

Estimation of Arctic Sea Ice Thickness from Chinese HY-2B Radar Altimetry Data
Remote Sensing, 2023 Sea ice thickness (SIT) is an important parameter in the study of climate change. During the past 20 years, satellite altimetry has been widely used to observe sea ice thickness.

Arctic Ocean Sea Level Record from the Complete Radar Altimetry Era: 1991–2018
Remote Sensing, 2019 In recent years, there has been a large focus on the Arctic due to the rapid changes of the region. Arctic sea level determination is challenging due to the seasonal to permanent sea-ice cover, lack of regional coverage of satellites, satellite ...

Elevation Changes of the Antarctic Ice Sheet from Joint Envisat and CryoSat-2 Radar Altimetry
Remote Sensing, 2020 The elevation changes of ice sheets have been recognized as an essential climate variable. Long-term time series of these changes are an important parameter to understand climate change, and the longest time-series of ice sheet elevation changes can be ...
