Enhancing Chashma Barrage water level estimations with sentinel 3 radar altimetry

open access: yesDiscover Water
Satellite Radar altimetry has emerged as a powerful tool for monitoring inland water bodies including rivers, lakes, and coastal regions. However, challenges persist regarding its accuracy, particularly over complex terrains.

Antarctic Ice Sheet and Radar Altimetry: A Review [PDF]

open access: yesRemote 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 ...

River Water Level and Water Surface Slope Measurement From Spaceborne Radar and LiDAR Altimetry: Evaluation and Implications for Hydrological Studies in the Ganga River

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Satellite altimetry has revolutionized river monitoring, particularly for hydrologists working on river flow monitoring in sparsely or ungauged areas. Despite this, there is a lack of a comprehensive evaluation of radar and LiDAR altimeters with varying ...

Retrieving Sea Level and Freeboard in the Arctic: A Review of Current Radar Altimetry Methodologies and Future Perspectives

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Spaceborne radar altimeters record echo waveforms over all Earth surfaces, but their interpretation and quantitative exploitation over the Arctic Ocean is particularly challenging. Radar returns may be from all ocean, all sea ice, or a mixture of the two,

Monitoring Sea Level and Topography of Coastal Lagoons Using Satellite Radar Altimetry: The Example of the Arcachon Bay in the Bay of Biscay

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Radar altimetry was initially designed to measure the marine geoid. Thanks to the improvement in the orbit determination from the meter to the centimeter level, this technique has been providing accurate measurements of the sea surface topography over ...

Evaluation of historic and operational satellite radar altimetry missions for constructing consistent long-term lake water level records [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology 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 ...

Retrieval of Snow Depth on Arctic Sea Ice From Surface‐Based, Polarimetric, Dual‐Frequency Radar Altimetry

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Snow depth on sea ice is an Essential Climate Variable and a major source of uncertainty in satellite altimetry‐derived sea ice thickness. During winter of the MOSAiC Expedition, the “KuKa” dual‐frequency, fully polarized Ku‐ and Ka‐band radar was ...

Joint analysis of coastal altimetry and high-frequency (HF) radar data: observability of seasonal and mesoscale ocean dynamics in the Bay of Biscay [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Science, 2018
Land-based coastal high-frequency (HF) radar systems provide operational measurements of coastal surface currents (within 1–3 m depth) with high spatial (300 m–10 km) and temporal ( ≤ 1 h) sampling resolutions, while the ...

Satellite radar altimetry for monitoring small rivers and lakes in Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology 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 (

Time-evolving mass loss of the Greenland Ice Sheet from satellite altimetry [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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).
