An Empirical Algorithm to Retrieve Significant Wave Height from Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery Collected under Cyclonic Conditions

Remote Sensing, 2018
In this study, an empirical algorithm is proposed to retrieve significant wave height (SWH) from dual-polarization Sentinel-1 (S-1) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery collected under cyclonic conditions.

Bathymetry Prediction With SWOT Gravity Anomaly Using Machine Learning Methods: Paper 2—Model Evaluation and Uncertainty Analysis

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Despite millions of ship soundings, bathymetry from satellite derived gravity is still necessary to fill in approximately three quarters of the global oceans. The methods used to carry out this inference have not changed significantly since the 1990s; however new methodology involving Machine Learning (ML) improves the bathymetric predictions ...

Subsurface Structure and Morphometry of the Wrinkle Ridges in the Late Amazonian Volcanic Unit on Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Wrinkle ridges are widespread compressional tectonic features on Mars and are important records of the planet's global contractional history. However, their formation, evolution and subsequent modification by other geologic processes remain poorly constrained.

Non-uniform phase filter for Tiangong-2 Interferometric Imaging Radar Altimeter

The Journal of Engineering, 2019
The interferometric imaging radar altimeter (InIRA) on-board Chinese Tiangong-2 space laboratory is a Ku-band interferometric radar whose major aim is to measure the wide-swath ocean topography. Unlike traditional interferometric synthetic aperture radar

Disentangling Internal Tides From Balanced Motions With Deep Learning and Surface Field Synergy

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract A fundamental challenge in ocean dynamics is disentangling balanced motions and internal waves. Extracting internal tidal (IT) imprints from surface data is a central part of this challenge. Traditional harmonic analysis fails under strong incoherence and poor temporal sampling, as in global satellite observations.

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 ...

A Strictly Geostrophic Product of Sea‐Surface Velocities From the SWOT Fast‐Sampling Phase

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract While geostrophy remains the simplest and most practical balance to extract velocity information from sea‐surface height anomaly (SSHa), confusions remain within the oceanographic community to what extent this balance can be applied to altimetric observations with the launch of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite. Given the

SWOT High‐Rate Raster Data Reveals Antarctic Ice Shelf Motion and Change in Response to Ocean and Ice Dynamics

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The NASA/CNES Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) swath‐mapping radar altimetry satellite mission, launched in December 2022, provides repeat‐track coverage to about ±78.2° latitude every 21 days, sampling many of Antarctica's most dynamic ice shelves that play key roles in constraining mass loss from the grounded ice sheet ...

Assessing Dynamical Contributions to SWOT Sea Surface Height in an Internal Tide Hotspot

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission has revealed high‐frequency sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) variability associated with internal gravity waves, yet comparison with in situ observations remains limited. Here, we analyze a mooring array beneath the swaths of SWOT Cal/Val south of New Caledonia, an internal tide (IT ...

Rapid Changes in Ocean Surface Waves Across the Eye of Hurricane Milton (2024)

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 13, 16 July 2026.
Abstract Two wave buoys deployed in the direct path of Hurricane Milton show a remarkable reduction in significant wave height and peak wave period as the eye of the storm passes and wind speeds are briefly reduced. The rapid adjustment of the waves to the lower wind speeds is initially unexpected, but is explained by the observed changes in the scalar
