The use of satellite altimetry to recover marine gravity anomalies allows for the rapid acquisition seafloor topography on a wide range regional scales. Currently, commonly used approaches inverting have been focused linear correlation between and disregarded effect density contrast crust seawater depth. Therefore, we proposed variable constraint combined modification (VDTCCM) method by derivin...

Open water areas surrounded by sea ice significantly influence the ocean-ice-atmosphere interaction and contribute to Arctic climate change. Satellite altimetry can detect these ice openings and enables one to estimate sea surface heights and further altimetry data derived products. This study introduces an innovative, unsupervised classification approach for detecting open water areas in the G...

The exploitation of synthetic aperture properties in nadir-looking radars is opening new scenarios in the framework of satellite radar altimetry. Both recent and upcoming missions including Cryosat-2, Sentinel-3, Sentinel-6 and SWOT take benefit from the coherent processing of radar data, aimed at improving range measurements in particular contexts, such as ice, open ocean, coastal zone, and ev...

The sea surface height (SSH) measured by future wide-swath altimetry satellites contains observation error due to baseline measurement, which is called SSH_Error_Baseline. It a huge challenge for satellite engineering maintain such high accuracies of the roll and length in orbit ensure that SSH_Error_Baseline can be maintained below 1 cm. Therefore, how effectively reduce extremely important. I...

The most energetic events in the circulation of the Gulf of Mexico are the separation of large anticyclonic rings from the Loop Current. Building on previous work, the authors examine all the apparent rings since July 1973. This new dataset includes the satellite altimetry since 1992, providing a set of 34 consecutive ring formations. The primary advantage of altimetry is that the data remain a...

Satellite radar altimetry has immense potential for monitoring fresh surface water resources and predicting the intra-seasonal, seasonal, inter-annual variability of inundated over large river basins. As part Preparation Surface Water Ocean Topography mission scheduled launch in mid-2022, present study aimed to evaluate performance inland bodies India. The Joint Altimetry Oceanography Network (...
