Oceans cover over 70% of the Earth's surface and provide numerous services to humans
and the environment. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor these valuable assets using …

Significant developments have been made in the observation systems and techniques of
estimating sea level towards meeting the standard accuracy requirement of Global Climate …

Previous studies reconstructed twentieth-century global mean sea level (GMSL) from sparse
tide-gauge records to understand whether the recent high rates obtained from satellite …

ESA's CryoSat‐2 has transformed the way we monitor Arctic sea ice, providing routine
measurements of the ice thickness with near basin‐wide coverage. Past studies have shown …

Abstract The Copernicus Polar Ice and Snow Topography Altimeter (CRISTAL) mission is
one of six high-priority candidate missions (HPCMs) under consideration by the European …

This paper reviews the recent progress in our estimation of ocean dynamic topography and
the derived surface geostrophic currents, mainly based on multiple nadir radar altimeter …

Inland water level and its dynamics are key components in the global water cycle and land
surface hydrology, significantly influencing climate variability and water resource …

Information about sea ice surface topography and related deformation is crucial for studies
of sea ice mass balance, sea ice modeling, and ship navigation through the ice pack. The …

Rapid melting of ice sheets and glaciers drives a unique geometry, or fingerprint, of sea
level change. However, the detection of individual fingerprints has been challenging …

Mean sea ice thickness is a sensitive indicator of Arctic climate change and is in long-term
decline despite significant interannual variability. Current thickness estimations from satellite …
