Coastal SAR and PLRM altimetry in German Bight and West Baltic Sea

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the performance of the CryoSat-2 FBR and LRM (pseudo-LRM) data in the coastal zone of the German Bight and West Baltic Sea during a time interval of almost six years, from July 2010 to March 2016.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved wet path delays for all ESA and reference altimetric missions

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of improved wet tropospheric correction (WTC) using the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) derived Path Delay (GPD) algorithm was envisaged for the main six altimetric missions: the so-called reference missions (TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1 and Jason-2) and the three ESA missions (ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat).
Journal ArticleDOI

Atmospheric Corrections for Altimetry Studies over Inland Water

TL;DR: It has been shown that the model-based tropospheric corrections are not modeled properly and in a consistent way in the various altimetric products, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) global ionosphere map (GIM) model, available after 1998, properly scaled to the altimeter height provides the best accuracy.
Book ChapterDOI

Satellite Altimetry in Coastal Regions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the improvements in coastal altimetry on the technical side and the ensuing applications, that is, first improvements in retracking and improvements in corrections.
