This study focuses on the present-day surface elevation of the Greenland and Antarctic ice
sheets. Based on 3 years of CryoSat-2 data acquisition we derived new elevation models …

We present our estimates of the thickness and volume of the Arctic Ocean ice cover from
CryoSat-2 data acquired between October 2010 and May 2014. Average ice thickness and …

This chapter aims to present the measurement concept and evolution of wide-swath
altimetry in a unified way because no such comprehensive description is available in the …

We develop a physical model capable of simulating the mean echo power of CryoSat-2 SAR-
and SARIn-mode waveforms over sea-ice-covered regions. The model simulations are used …

Improving the accuracy of the marine gravity field requires both improved altimeter range
precision and dense track coverage. After a hiatus of more than 15 yr, a wealth of suitable …

Cryosat-2 has provided measurements of pan-Arctic sea ice thickness since 2010 with
unprecedented spatial coverage and frequency. However, it remains uncertain how the Ku …

In this paper, we revisit the problem of wind–wave interaction with emphasis on strong
winds. For these events, it is assumed that nonlinearity is so large that the slope of the wind …

A significant source of error in the retrieval of sea ice freeboard from pulse-limited radar
altimeters arises when scattering from off-nadir leads dominates the power echo causing the …

A new methodology for retrieval of glacier and ice sheet elevations and elevation changes
from CryoSat-2 data is presented. Surface elevations and elevation changes determined …

The impact of a snow layer on the location of the tracking point (RP) for ranging to the sea
ice surface in CryoSat‐2 synthetic aperture interferometric radar altimeter waveforms is …
