Remote Sensing, 2011 We demonstrate the efficacy of a commercial portable 2D laser scanner (operating at a wavelength close to 1,000 nm) deployed from a fixed-wing aircraft for measuring the sea surface topography and wave profiles over coastal waters.

Assessing the impact of future altimeter constellations in the Met Office global ocean forecasting system [PDF]
Ocean ScienceSatellite altimeter measurements of sea surface height (SSH) are a crucial component of current operational ocean forecasting systems. The launch of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) wide-swath altimeter (WiSA) mission is bringing a step ...

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Significant advances have been made in using terrestrial remote sensing to reduce random errors in land surface models (LSMs). However, less progress has been made in dealing with systematic LSM errors that are instead correlated with true system states.

A Deep Learning Approach to Extract Balanced Motions From Sea Surface Height Snapshot
Geophysical Research LettersExtracting balanced geostrophic motions (BM) from sea surface height (SSH) observations obtained by wide‐swath altimetry holds great significance in enhancing our understanding of oceanic dynamic processes at submesoscale wavelength.

On the retrieval of sea ice thickness and snow depth using concurrent laser altimetry and L-band remote sensing data [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 The accurate knowledge of sea ice parameters, including sea ice thickness and snow depth over the sea ice cover, is key to both climate studies and data assimilation in operational forecasts.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite provides a groundbreaking view of sea surface height (SSH) across a 120‐km‐wide swath (20‐km nadir gap), opening new opportunities to reconstruct vertical velocities (w) $(w)$. Vertical motions play a central role in redistributing properties, influencing climate and ecosystems. Using the

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.Abstract Satellite altimetry is advantageous for measuring water surface elevations (WSE) globally. However, biases of time series can be caused by uneven water surfaces, as nadir pointing measurements are often collected at different locations across a lake.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.Abstract Swell propagation and transformation across variable bathymetry and coastal obstacles fundamentally control nearshore wave energy redistribution, sediment transport, and shoreline evolution. Conventional satellite altimetry cannot adequately resolve these dynamics, particularly refraction and diffraction as swell transition into shallow waters.
