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 ...

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

Evaluation of historic and operational satellite radar altimetry missions for constructing consistent long-term lake water level records [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2021 A total of 13 satellite missions have been launched since 1985, with different types of radar altimeters on board. This study intends to make a comprehensive evaluation of historic and currently operational satellite radar altimetry missions for lake ...

Satellite radar altimetry for monitoring small rivers and lakes in Indonesia [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2015 Remote sensing and satellite geodetic observations are capable of hydrologic monitoring of freshwater resources. Although satellite radar altimetry has been used in monitoring water level or discharge, its use is often limited to monitoring large rivers (

Combining satellite radar altimetry, SAR surface soil moisture and GRACE total storage changes for hydrological model calibration in a large poorly gauged catchment [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2011 The availability of data is a major challenge for hydrological modelling in large parts of the world. Remote sensing data can be exploited to improve models of ungauged or poorly gauged catchments.

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).
