SAR Polar Ocean DTU Satellite Validation Data

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
