Data
to be Used: Sea surface height retrieved from
the ERS-1, Geosat Geodetic Mission, and ENVISAT altimetry, and ENVISAT ASAR data
Coverage: The entire Arctic
region North of 65 deg N
Time Period: The whole Cryosat-2 mission to date (for which
Baseline B data are available)
Description:
Comparisons with sea surface height retrieved from
the ERS-1, Geosat Geodetic Mission, and ENVISAT altimetry will be
performed in the region to investigate the presence of all spatial
signals in the datasets.
Individual profiles of Cryosat-2 SAR data will be compared with
airborne CryoVEx and IceBridge data as well as collocated satellite
data such as ENVISAT to evaluate the along-track signal to noise.
Throughout the region the Cryosat-2 SAR data will be compared with
ENVISAT data for detailed evaluation of the sea surface height
retrieval.
Processed satellite data are available on the DUT Sea Ice Website
