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...
متن کاملEvolution of the Satellite Radar Altimeter
The radar altimeters flown on Geos-3 (1975), Seasat-l (1978), and Geosat-l (1985) have amply demonstrated the benefits of high-precision measurements of ocean-surface topography, both to geodesy and to oceanography. Two new altimetry missions are planned: the joint NASA/Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales TOPEx/Poseidon mission, to be launched in 1992, and the Navy's Special Purpose Inexpensive ...
متن کاملAnalysis of CryoSat’s radar altimeter waveforms over different Arctic sea ice regimes
Satellite altimetry has been used to derive information about sea ice thickness in the Arctic already for several decades. As part of the algorithms applied the shape of the radar signal is used to identify leads, the open water between ice floes. Analysis of airborne altimeter data reveals that the waveform shape can additionally be used to identify different sea ice types. In this study we an...
متن کاملLabor Intensity , Risk , and Return ∗
I analyze the relationship between labor intensity – the wages to revenue ratio – and a firm’s risk and book-to-market ratio in a production model. Under plausible parameters, labor intensive firms are riskier and exhibit higher book-to-market ratios than capital intensive firms. Covariance with the stochastic discount factor grows with labor intensity so the return spread between labor and cap...
متن کاملVariation of radon progeny concentration over a continental location
Background: The variation of the radon progeny concentration in outdoor environment and meteorological parameters at fine resolution were studied for one year at a continental location, National Atmospheric Research Laboratory, Gadanki, India. Materials and Methods: The concentrations were measured using Alpha Progeny Meter by collecting air samples at a height of 1 m above the Earth&rsqu...
