Estimating terrestrial snow depth with the TOPEX-Poseidon altimeter and radiometer
Active and passive microwave measurements obtained by the dual-frequency Topex–Poseidon radar altimeter from the Northern Great Plains of the United States are used to develop a snow pack radar backscatter model. The model results are compared with daily time series of surface snow observations made by the U.S. National Weather Service. The model results show that Ku-band provides more accurate...
متن کاملThe effects of rain on TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter data
The presence of rain in the sub-satellite track can significantly degrade altimeter measurements by causing an attenuation of the backscattered signal, a change in its path length through the atmosphere and a change in the mean square slope of the sea surface. This can cause errors, not only in the measurement of the satellite altitude, but also in the determination of wind speed and wave heigh...
متن کاملCorrection of single frequency altimeter measurements for ionosphere delay
-This study is a preliminary analysis of the accuracy of various ionosphere models to correct single frequency altimeter height measurements for ionospheric path delay. In particular, research focused on adjusting empir/cal and parameterized ionosphere models in the parameterized real-time ionospheric specification modal (PRISM) 1.2 using total electron content (TEC) data from the global positi...
متن کاملA comparison of ocean topography derived from the Shuttle Laser Altimeter-01 and TOPEX/POSEIDON
To assess the utility of laser altimetry for studies in dynamical oceanography, we present a comparison of the Shuttle Laser Altimeter (SLA)-01 and the TOPEX/POSEIDON (T/P) radar altimeter on global and regional scales. We compare all 1.1 million SLA-01 range measurements over the oceans to the CSRMSS95 gridded mean sea surface model and find the overall root mean square (RMS) difference to be ...
متن کاملFloodplain Water Storage in the Negro River Basin Estimated from Microwave Remote Sensing of Inundation Area and Water Levels
The objective of this study is to determine spatio-temporal variations of water volume over inundated areas located in large river basins using combined observations from the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) onboard the Japanese Earth Resources Satellite (JERS1), the Topex/Poseidon (T/P) altimetry satellite, and in-situ hydrographic stations. Ultimately, the goal is to quantify the role of floodp...
