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.

Ice-sheet elevations from across-track processing of airborne interferometric radar altimetry [PDF]
, 2009 Interferometric Radar Altimeters (IRA's) use dual receive antennas to overcome one of the spatial limitations of pulse-limited altimeters. In a conventional IRA measurement, the range and across-track direction of a scatterer are determined using the ...

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 state and rain: a second take on dual-frequency altimetry [PDF]
, 2004 TOPEX and Jason were the first two dual-frequency altimeters in space, with both operating at Ku- and C-band. Each thus gives two measurements of the normalized backscatter, sigma0, (from which wind speed is calculated) and two estimates of wave height ...

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 ...

Waveform Aliasing in Satellite Radar Altimetry
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2015 The full deramp pulse compression scheme employed by satellite radar altimeters digitizes each radar echo at a sampling rate matched to the chirp bandwidth. Echo power is undersampled by a factor of 2 when the power samples are simply obtained by squaring the magnitude of the echo samples, without first resampling, as is done in all altimeters to date.
