Antarctic ice shelf thickness from CryoSat‐2 radar altimetry [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2015 AbstractIce shelf thickness for the whole of Antarctica is derived from 4 years (2011–2014) of CryoSat‐2 (CS2) radar altimetry measurements using the assumption that the shelves are in hydrostatic equilibrium. The satellite orbit and novel synthetic aperture radar interferometric mode of CS2 results in 92.3% data coverage over the ice shelves, with ...

Antarctic Grounding Line Mapping From CryoSat‐2 Radar Altimetry [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 AbstractWe present a new technique for mapping the grounding line of Antarctic ice shelves using a combination of CryoSat‐2 standard and swath elevation data. Our method is based on detecting the tidal signal in pseudo crossovers and is tested on the Siple Coast region of West Antarctica.

Satellite radar altimetry aids seafloor mapping
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1991 The connection between gravity and oceanic water depth was realized more than a century ago. In 1859, J. H. Pratt derived a formula relating anomalous vertical deflection and sea level height on the coast of India to the depth of the adjacent Indian Ocean.

Effects of Interferometric Radar Altimeter Errors on Marine Gravity Field Inversion
Sensors, 2020 The traditional altimetry satellite, which is based on pulse-limited radar altimeter, only measures ocean surface heights along tracks; hence, leads to poorer accuracy in the east component of the vertical deflections compared to the north component ...
