Controls on ERS altimeter measurements over ice sheets: Footprint-scale topography, backscatter fluctuations, and the dependence of microwave penetration depth on satellite orientation [PDF]
, 2004 We consider the reliability of radar altimeter measurements of ice sheet elevation and snowpack properties in the presence of surface undulations. We demonstrate that over ice sheets the common practice of averaging echoes by aligning the first return ...

Ocean Surface Topography Altimetry by Large Baseline Cross-Interferometry from Satellite Formation
Remote Sensing, 2020 Imaging Radar Altimeter (IRA) is the current development tendency for ocean surface topography (OST) altimetry, which utilizes Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and interferometry to improve the spatial resolution of OST to several kilometers or even better.

Antarctic ice shelf thickness from CryoSat‐2 radar altimetry [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2015 AbstractIce shelf thickness for the whole of Antarctica is derived from 4 years (2011–2014) of CryoSat‐2 (CS2) radar altimetry measurements using the assumption that the shelves are in hydrostatic equilibrium. The satellite orbit and novel synthetic aperture radar interferometric mode of CS2 results in 92.3% data coverage over the ice shelves, with ...
