An Action Plan Towards Fiducial Reference Measurements for Satellite Altimetry

Remote Sensing, 2019
Satellite altimeters have been producing, as of 1992, an amazing and historic record of sea level changes. As Europe moves into full operational altimetry, it has become imperative that the quality of these monitoring signals with their uncertainties ...

Validation of ANCHOR Ionospheric Data Assimilation Model Using GIRO Ionosondes Within PyVALION Software

Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Accurate specification of the ionosphere is essential for mitigating the impacts of space weather on communication, navigation, and surveillance systems. ANCHOR is a newly developed ionospheric data assimilation (DA) model from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory that fuses measurements from ionosondes, radio occultation, and Global Navigation ...

Preface to the Special Issue on Geodynamic and Climate-Change Processes over Tibet, Xinjiang and Siberia

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2011
Tibet, Xinjiang and Siberia (TibXS) are regions with active plate tectonics. Evidence from satellite gravimetry and altimetry shows the hydrological evolutions over these regions are sensitive to global climate change.

Statistical Model of Subsurface Scattering Bias in ICESat‐2's ATL06 Product

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract ICESat‐2 uses visible laser pulses and photon‐counting detectors to range the Earth's surface, providing precision altimetry for measuring ice sheet elevation change. However, since water ice is transparent to visible light, the photon returns recorded by ICESat‐2's ATLAS instrument may originate from subsurface scattering inside the snow or ...

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

The 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).

Robust Regional Contrast but Penetration‐Sensitive Snow Thickness Over Sea Ice From Multi‐Winter Antarctic CRYO2ICE Observations

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Snow on Antarctic sea ice modulates albedo, thermodynamic growth, and snow–ice formation, yet remains a leading uncertainty in altimetry‐derived sea‐ice thickness. Here we use the post‐2022 CRYO2ICE configuration to derive along‐track winter snow thickness from ICESat‐2 laser and CryoSat‐2 Ku‐band radar freeboards over the Weddell and Ross ...

Ionospheric Data Fusion With GNSS, GNSS‐RO and Satellite Altimetry Based on Machine Learning

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation
Global Ionospheric Maps (GIMs) are essential in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) applications, particularly for correcting ionospheric delays in single‐frequency positioning. GIMs are mainly derived from dual‐frequency GNSS observations, but the

Assessing GNSS Reflectometry for High‐Latitude 3D Ionospheric Imaging

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This study investigates whether Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS‐R) measurements from low‐Earth‐orbit (LEO) satellites can improve three‐dimensional (3D) ionospheric electron density imaging, with a focus on high‐latitude regions. Conventional ionospheric tomography is limited by sparse ground‐based receiver coverage over

Enhanced Retrieval of Spring Snow Depth Over Pan‐Arctic Sea Ice From AMSR2 Observations for 2013–2023 Using Multi‐Model Machine Learning

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Snow on sea ice modulates the Earth's radiation budget and sea ice mass balance, yet satellite retrievals of Arctic snow depth remain subject to substantial algorithmic uncertainty. We develop a multi‐model machine learning (ML) framework for retrieving spring snow depth over Arctic sea ice from Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2).
