Sea surface height measuring using InSAR altimeter

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2017
Satellite altimetry has been widely used in measuring ocean topography from space. The conventional altimeter system is the nadir radar altimeter system which has the limitations of one-dimensional measurement and is unable to get both high temporal and ...

Ocean 2D eddy energy fluxes from small mesoscale processes with SWOT [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2023
We investigate ocean dynamics at different scales in the Agulhas Current system, a region of important interocean exchange of heat and energy. While ocean observations and some of the most advanced climate models capture the larger mesoscale dynamics ...

Measuring Storm Surge with an Airborne Wide-Swath Radar Altimeter

Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2009
Abstract Over the years, hurricane track forecasts and storm surge models, as well the digital terrain and bathymetry data they depend on, have improved significantly. Strides have also been made in the knowledge of the detailed variation of the surface wind field driving the surge.

Airborne Rain-Rate Measurement with a Wide-Swath Radar Altimeter

Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2014
Abstract The NOAA Wide-Swath Radar Altimeter (WSRA) uses 80 narrow beams spread over ±30° in the cross-track direction to generate raster lines of sea surface topography at a 10-Hz rate from which sea surface directional wave spectra are produced.
