Analisa Sea Level Rise Dari Data Satelit Altimetri Topex/Poseidon, Jason-1 Dan Jason-2 Di Perairan Laut Pulau Jawa Periode 2000 – 2010

Jason-1 / Jason-2 metocean comparisons and monitoring

The initial tandem phase of the Jason-2 mission is important for the calibration of the entire altimetric system, not just the records of sea surface height. However, as well as allowing a bulk comparison of metocean parameters such as wave height and backscatter strength (used to infer wind speed), it affords a more detailed opportunity to understand the artefacts within each instrument. The w...

Improving the Intercalibration of σ 0 Values for the Jason-1 and Jason-2 Altimeters

The normalized backscatter from a radar altimeter, σ, is a measure of the surface roughness at scales of a few radar wavelengths; over the ocean this is used to infer wind speed. Long-term studies of wind speed rely on consistent measurements within an altimetric mission and good intercalibration between missions. For the Jason-1 and Jason-2 altimeters the derivation of σ from the full waveform...

CAWRES: A Waveform Retracking Fuzzy Expert System for Optimizing Coastal Sea Levels from Jason-1 and Jason-2 Satellite Altimetry Data

This paper presents the Coastal Altimetry Waveform Retracking Expert System (CAWRES), a novel method to optimise the Jason satellite altimetric sea levels from multiple retracking solutions. CAWRES’ aim is to achieve the highest possible accuracy of coastal sea levels, thus bringing measurement of radar altimetry data closer to the coast. The principles of CAWRES are twofold. The first is to re...
