Satellite altimetry for Indian reservoirs
Water Science and Engineering, 2021 Satellite radar altimetry has immense potential for monitoring fresh surface water resources and predicting the intra-seasonal, seasonal, and inter-annual variability of inundated surface water over large river basins.

River ice phenology and thickness from satellite altimetry: potential for ice bridge road operation and climate studies [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 River ice is a key component of the cryosphere. Satellite monitoring of river ice is a rapidly developing area of scientific enquiry, which has wide-ranging implications for climate, environmental and socioeconomic applications.

Satellite Remote Sensing of the Greenland Ice Sheet Ablation Zone: A Review
Remote Sensing, 2019 The Greenland Ice Sheet is now the largest land ice contributor to global sea level rise, largely driven by increased surface meltwater runoff from the ablation zone, i.e., areas of the ice sheet where annual mass losses exceed gains.

The impact of snow depth, snow density and ice density on sea ice thickness retrieval from satellite radar altimetry: results from the ESA-CCI Sea Ice ECV Project Round Robin Exercise [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2015 We assess different methods and input parameters, namely snow depth, snow density and ice density, used in freeboard-to-thickness conversion of Arctic sea ice. This conversion is an important part of sea ice thickness retrieval from spaceborne altimetry.

Sea surface height measuring using InSAR altimeter
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2017 Satellite altimetry has been widely used in measuring ocean topography from space. The conventional altimeter system is the nadir radar altimeter system which has the limitations of one-dimensional measurement and is unable to get both high temporal and ...

A Coastal Experiment for GNSS-R Code-Level Altimetry Using BDS-3 New Civil Signals
Remote Sensing, 2021 High temporal and spatial resolutions are the key advantages of the global navigation satellites system-reflectometry (GNSS-R) technique, while low precision and instabilities constrain its development.
