A Multi‐Scale Probabilistic Machine Learning Model for Balanced and Unbalanced Sea Surface Height Decomposition

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Sea surface height (SSH) reflects a superposition of balanced motions (BM) and unbalanced motions (UBM), which play distinct roles in ocean dynamics and energetics. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite provides two‐dimensional SSH maps at spatial resolutions where BM and UBM coexist, but its 21‐day repeat cycle precludes ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Snow Depth on Arctic Sea Ice Retrieval Using a Synergy of Sentinel‐3's Active and Passive Microwave Instruments

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Snow depth remains one of the largest sources of uncertainty in satellite‐derived sea ice thickness (SIT). Here, we introduce the novel Nadir Radiometer and Radar Synergy (NaRRS) method that combines data from Sentinel‐3's Microwave Radiometer (MWR) and Synthetic Aperture Radar Altimeter (SRAL) to retrieve Arctic snow depth on sea ice.

Hidden Fine‐Scale Transport Pathways and Biological Connectivity Revealed by SWOT

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Oceanic currents redistribute nutrients, phytoplankton, and other biogenic materials, fundamentally shaping marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Yet, the topology of fine‐scale material transport remains poorly resolved due to limitations in high‐resolution flow observations.

Altimetry Measurements from Planetary Radar Sounders and Application to SHARAD on Mars

, 2021
Low frequency radar sounders have the potential to generate altimetric profiles, but the feasibility of utilizing planetary radar sounding data as an alternative to laser altimetry has not been assessed using existing data to date.

Large Drifter Experiment in the Western Mediterranean Sea Reveals Dynamical Versus Noise Contributions in SWOT‐KaRIn Sea Level

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract The wide‐swath altimeter Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) provides unprecedented two‐dimensional sea‐level observations, whose ability to capture upper‐ocean dynamics requires assessment. The dynamically balanced signal and noise contributions in SWOT‐KaRIn Level‐3 (L3) sea level products are here originally quantified and contrasted ...

Internal Wave Characteristics in the Andaman Sea: New Insights From SWOT Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract High‐resolution, repeat‐pass Sea Surface Height Anomaly (SSHA) observations from the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite are used to investigate Internal Solitary Waves (ISW) in the Andaman Sea over a one‐year period starting in July 2023. SWOT captured surface signatures of high‐amplitude ISW, with SSHA exceeding 20 cm.

Winter accumulation in the percolation zone of Greenland measured by airborne radar altimeter [PDF]

, 2007
We here determine the surface elevation and the winter snow accumulation rate along a profile in the percolation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet from data collected with ESA's Airborne SAR/Interferometric Radar Altimeter System (ASIRAS) in spring 2004 ...

A First Look at the Snow/Ice Penetration Effect of SWOT Observations on Water Level of Global Glacial Lakes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission promises quasi‐global monitoring of glacial lakes, yet the elevation difference arising from its Ka‐band radar penetrating lake snow/ice cover remains unquantified. This poses a challenge to assessing their level changes.

Toward Constraining Ocean Estimates in Ice‐Covered Regions Using Sea Level Altimetry Data

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Estimates of ice‐covered oceans are difficult to constrain using in situ observations, particularly if one needs broad spatiotemporal coverage of subsurface properties. Here we explore the value of sea level (ζ $\zeta $) data from the laser altimeter on ICESat‐2 and multi‐mission radar altimeter products distributed by the Archiving ...
