Towards a swath-to-swath sea-ice drift product for the Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer mission [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Across spatial and temporal scales, sea-ice motion has implications for ship navigation, the sea-ice thickness distribution, sea-ice export to lower latitudes and re-circulation in the polar seas, among others.

Rectification and validation of a daily satellite-derived Antarctic sea ice velocity product [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Antarctic sea ice kinematics plays a crucial role in shaping the Southern Ocean climate and ecosystems. Satellite passive-microwave-derived sea ice motion data have been used widely for studying sea ice motion and deformation, and they provide daily ...

Regional Assessments of Surface Ice Elevations from Swath-Processed CryoSat-2 SARIn Data
Remote Sensing, 2021 The Arctic responds rapidly to climate change, and the melting of land ice is a major contributor to the observed present-day sea-level rise. The coastal regions of these ice-covered areas are showing the most dramatic changes in the form of widespread ...

Improved machine-learning-based open-water–sea-ice–cloud discrimination over wintertime Antarctic sea ice using MODIS thermal-infrared imagery [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 The frequent presence of cloud cover in polar regions limits the use of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and similar instruments for the investigation and monitoring of sea-ice polynyas compared to passive-microwave-based sensors.

Timeliness of Correcting Baseline Error in Wide-Swath Altimeter Based on Reference Topography Data
Remote Sensing, 2023 The baseline error is a primary error source of the wide-swath altimeter, directly related to the cross-track distance, and can lead to serious height errors at the swath’s outer edge.

Hydrodinamic Aspects of a High-Speed SWATH and New Hull Form [PDF]
, 2005 The main problems of high-speed ships operating in open seas are their insufficient seaworthiness and speed loss in high sea states. Small Water-plane Area Twin-Hulls (SWATH) are characterised by excellent seaworthiness, but the hull forms of a ...

Contribution of future wide-swath altimetry missions to ocean analysis and forecasting [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2018 The impact of forthcoming wide-swath altimetry missions on the ocean analysis and forecasting system was investigated by means of OSSEs (observing system simulation experiments). These experiments were performed with a regional data assimilation system,

Contribution of a constellation of two wide-swath altimetry missions to global ocean analysis and forecasting [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2022 Swath altimetry is likely to revolutionize our ability to monitor and forecast ocean dynamics. To meet the requirements of the EU Copernicus Marine Service, a constellation of two wide-swath altimeters is envisioned for the long-term (post-2030 ...
