Satellite Altimetry Applications

IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, 1975
This paper provides a brief background of precision satellite altimetry. A description of satellite altimetry concepts and instrumentation is presented. The parameters measured, supporting data, and techniques, as well as physical limitations, are discussed. In addition, results are shown and a variety of applications is emphasized.

Satellite Altimetry

open access: yes, 2019
Satellite altimetry measures the topography of the sea surface, with high-resolution, global coverage and short revisit time. Since the very first missions in the mid-1970s, the accuracy of a single sea surface height measurement has increased by a ...

Satellite altimetry

Reviews of Geophysics, 1983
During the past four years satellite altimetry activities have been primarily concerned with analyses of the GEOS‐3 and Seasat data sets, and the justification and design of next generation altimetric missions and associated instrumentation.Since the last IUGG Quadrennial review of satellite altimetry [Stanley, 1979a], considerable documentation of ...

Satellite altimetry

Reviews of Geophysics, 1979
Since the last national report to the sixteenth General Assembly, research activities in the development of appropriate techniques and the direct application of altimeter data have moved rapidly from the launch of the SKYLAB S‐193 Experiment in 1973 through the GEOS‐3 launched in June 1975 to the SEASAT‐1 launched in June 1978.

Satellite altimetry of the Barents sea

2021
Satellite altimetry data are used for investigation of the sea level variability and sea ice cover retreat in the Barents Sea in 1992−2018. The data from ERS−1/2, ENVISAT, SARAL/AltiKa, and Sentinel-3A/3B satellites were used in this study. An increasing trend of the sea level of about 2.31 mm/yr was observed in this time period, which caused a total ...

Applications of satellite altimetry to oceanography and geophysics

Marine Geophysical Researches, 1984
Satellite-borne altimeters have had a profound impact on geodesy, geophysics, and physical oceanography. To first order approximation, profiles of sea surface height are equivalent to the geoid and are highly correlated with seafloor topography for wavelengths less than 1000 km.

Satellite radar altimetry

IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, 1992
A brief review of the historical development and principles of satellite radar altimetry is presented, with special emphasis on the unique capability of the microwave altimeter to provide valuable information for global geoscientific studies. Altimeter data over the ocean are used to monitor mean sea levels, wave height, wind speeds, and surface ...

Applications of Satellite Altimetry Observations

2022
<p>Thirty years of altimetry satellite observations have provided important information that enables research discoveries and aids in the development of user-driven applications. National and international space and operational agencies have committed substantial resources to developing and continuing observations of the ocean and large ...

Tides and Satellite Altimetry

2017
Like most fields of science over the past century or two, the subject of oceanic tides appears to have progressed through a few major phases that, in hindsight at least, can be readily identified. When observing tides with a satellite altimeter, the problem of aliasing can scarcely be avoided.
