Michael Ablain,Anny Cazenave,Gilles Larnicol,Magdalena Balmaseda,Paolo Cipollini,Yannice Faugère,M. J. Fernandes,Olivier Henry,Johnny A. Johannessen,Per Knudsen,Ole Baltazar Andersen,J. F. Legeais,Benoit Meyssignac,Nicolas Picot,Monica Roca,Sergei Rudenko,Martin G. Scharffenberg,Detlef Stammer,G Timms,Jérôme Benveniste +19 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present various data improvements achieved within the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (ESA CCI) project on "Sea Level" during its first phase (2010-2013), using multi-mission satellite altimetry data over the 1993-2010 time span.
Journal ArticleDOI
CryoSat-2 swath interferometric altimetry for mapping ice elevation and elevation change
Noel Gourmelen,Noel Gourmelen,Maria-José Escorihuela,Andrew Shepherd,Luca Foresta,Alan Muir,Albert Garcia-Mondejar,Monica Roca,Steven Baker,Mark R. Drinkwater +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the interferometric mode of CryoSat-2 was used to map broad (5 km wide) swaths of surface elevation with fine (500 m) spatial resolution from each satellite pass, providing a step-change in the capability of satellite altimetry for glaciology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Graham D. Quartly,Francesco Nencioli,Matthias Raynal,Pascal Bonnefond,Pablo Nilo Garcia,Albert Garcia-Mondejar,Adrian Flores de la Cruz,Jean Francois Cretaux,Nicolas Taburet,Marie Laure Frery,Mathilde Cancet,Alan Muir,David Brockley,Malcolm McMillan,Saleh Abdalla,Sara Fleury,Emeline Cadier,Qi Gao,Maria Jose Escorihuela,Monica Roca,Muriel Berge-Nguyen,O. Laurain,Jerome Bruniquel,Pierre Féménias,Bruno Manuel Lucas +24 more
TL;DR: This paper is the first refereed publication to bring together the analysis of SAR altimetry across all these different domains to highlight the benefits and existing challenges of the Sentinel-3 Mission Performance Centre.
Journal ArticleDOI
REAPER: Reprocessing 12 Years of ERS-1 and ERS-2 Altimeters and Microwave Radiometer Data
David Brockley,Steven Baker,Pierre Féménias,Bernat Martinez,Franz-Heinrich Massmann,Michiel Otten,Frederic Paul,B Picard,Pierre Prandi,Monica Roca,Sergei Rudenko,Remko Scharroo,Pieter Visser +12 more
TL;DR: The details of how the reprocessing was conducted are presented and selected results from the validation and quality-assurance processes are shown to aid the reader in understanding the benefits of the new data set for their particular use-case.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sentinel-3 Delay-Doppler altimetry over Antarctica
Malcolm McMillan,Alan Muir,Andrew Shepherd,Roger Escolà,Monica Roca,Jérémie Aublanc,Pierre Thibaut,Marco Restano,Américo Ambrózio,Jérôme Benveniste +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first analysis of the Sentinel-3A radar altimeter over the Antarctic ice sheet and assess the accuracy and precision of retrievals of ice sheet elevation across a range of topographic regimes.
