Global coastal attenuation of wind-waves observed with radar altimetry. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2021 Coastal studies of wave climate and evaluations of wave energy resources are mainly regional and based on the use of computationally very expensive models or a network of in-situ data.

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 ...

ALTIMETRY BY CASSINI RADAR: PROCESSING AND SIMULATION [PDF]
, 2009 The Cassini mission, that is a joint NASA/ESA/ASI effort, has recently offered the unique possibility of exploring Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, that is the only satellite in the solar system to host an appreciable atmosphere, which unfortunately made the surface below very difficult to be observed from the Earth with optical instruments. In fact,

Niger discharge from radar altimetry: bridging gaps between gauge and altimetry time series [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2019 Abstract. 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 “bridging” gaps between time series from gauge and altimeter measurements using ...

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 multi‐satellite Ku‐band altimetry. We employ an empirical approach as an alternative detailed to radar‐propagation modeling, and instead convert elevation ...

Radar Altimetry: Introduction and Application to Air-Sea Interaction
, 2008 Radar altimeters are among the more common satellite-borne Earth Observation instruments with a long history including continuous data since 1991. They are also exceptionally versatile providing informa- tion on sea level, ocean dynamics, wind speed and a number of wave pa- rameters. Radar altimetry is a "point" rather than a "swath" instrument so that

Altimetry from Planetary Radar Sounders
, 2020 Having information on the global shape of a planet as well as having precise topography information is a prerequisite for many advanced scientific studies as well as for future robotic exploration. To date there are numerous methods to obtain topographic

Altimetry for the future: Building on 25 years of progress [PDF]
, 2021 \ua9 2021 COSPARIn 2018 we celebrated 25 years of development of radar altimetry, and the progress achieved by this methodology in the fields of global and coastal oceanography, hydrology, geodesy and cryospheric sciences. Many symbolic major events have

, 2023 The detection of vessels is considered an attractive byproduct of satellite radar altimetry, because it may complement the conventional tracking systems with the possibility to build long-term global statistics of ship traffic based on relatively small and manageable datasets of freely available data.
