Multi-Source Satellite Altimetry for Monitoring Storm Wave Footprints in the English Channel’s Coastal Areas

Remote Sensing
Climate wave data, derived from significant wave height (SWH) altimetry, provide accurate information towards nearshore and coastal areas. Their use is crucial to enhance our capabilities of observing, understanding, and forecasting storm waves, even in ...

Altimeter Calibrations in the Preliminary Four Years’ Operation of Wanshan Calibration Site

Remote Sensing
In order to accomplish the calibration and validation (Cal/Val) of altimeters, the Wanshan calibration site (WSCS) has been used as a calibration site for satellite altimeters since its completion in August 2019. In this paper, we introduced the WSCS and
