On one hand, the CryoSat-2 nominal SAR processing baseline is compared against the one considered in the state of the art Sentinel-3 ocean topographic mission, and then, against a modified version of CS-2, where the samples set to zero by the processor on the stack are not included in ...
CryoSat measures this baseline orientation using three star trackers mounted on the antenna support structure, which collects five pictures per second for comparison with the onboard star catalog. This allows an accurate SIRAL antenna orientation, but there is also a need for accurate orbital height...

Figure 2.Altimetry principle of water level measurement (Modified from [35]). The range window, i.e., the elevation window where the satellite altimeter is sensitive to observations, has to be adapted dynamically to the topography. This can either be done in closed loop or open loop. In op...
CryoSat-2 (Baseline B) and CryoSat-2 Level 1B (L1B) waveform data were used to estimate surface elevation (ftp://science-pds.cryosat.esa.int). Five parameters (i.e., SSD, stack skewness, stack kurtosis, PP and backscatter sigma-0) were used to distinguish leads from ice floes and ...
The precipitation time series are obtained by averaging multi-station data in each sub-zone, and the red symbol indicates the multi-year averaged annual precipitation during 1991–2002, as a reference baseline; lake level anomaly are obtained by averaging water level anomalies observed in September...
