Radar Altimetry Aids Managing Gauge Networks

Water Resources Management, 2014
The hydrological observation network in the Amazon basin is made of conventional rainfall and water level stations presently maintained by the Agencia Nacional de Aguas (ANA), the National Agency for Waters. The water level network has long been plagued by difficulties associated with spatial coverage, timely delivery and data errors.

Radar altimetry for the detection of ship traffic: an improved byproduct of satellite radar altimetry

, 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.

Observing the Near‐Surface Properties of the Greenland Ice Sheet

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Spaceborne radar altimetry over ice sheets has exclusively focused on assessing volume changes through changes in surface elevation. For use in mass balance calculations, these measurements are supplemented with surface property information derived from ...

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 ...
