Direct estimation of sea state impacts on radar altimeter sea level measurements

Sea state bias in altimeter sea level estimates determined by combining wave model and satellite data

Impact of Altimeter Data Processing on Sea Level Studies

This study addresses the impact of satellite altimetry data processing on sea level studies at regional scale, with emphasis on the influence of various geophysical corrections and satellite orbit on the structure of the derived interannual signal and sea level trend. The work focuses on the analysis of TOPEX data for a period of over twelve years, for three regions in the North Atlantic: Tropi...

ApL D2p radar Altimeter over Land and sea ice

easuring changes in the cryosphere from satellite-based altimeters has and will continue to provide data that are essential to our understanding of the long-term trends of the earth’s ice cover. over the past years, ApL has played a major role in airborne field activities observing continental ice sheets, outlet glaciers, and sea ice using the delayDoppler phase-monopulse (D2p) airborne radar a...

Envisat Radar Altimeter Calibration with High-sea Gps Buoys

The environmental satellite ENVISAT was successfully launched by the European Space Agency ESA in March 2002 and carries among other sensors a radar altimeter which is capable of measuring the height between sea surface and satellite with a precision of a few centimetres. Unfortunately, radar altimeters of this kind exhibit a bias which cannot be determined à priori with help of laboratory meas...
