Satellite radar altimetry provides a unique sea level data set that extends over more than 25
years back in time and that has an almost global coverage. However, when approaching the …

Coastal regions (including estuaries and deltas) are very complex environments with
diverse hydrodynamic and bio-geomorphological contexts and with important socio …

Satellite altimetry has revolutionised our understanding of ocean dynamics thanks to
frequent sampling and global coverage. Nevertheless, coastal data have been flagged as …

We examine the issue of sustained measurements of sea level in the coastal zone, first by
summarizing the long-term observations from tide gauges, then showing how those are now …

Sea state data are of major importance for climate studies, marine engineering, safety at sea
and coastal management. However, long-term sea state datasets are sparse and not always …

There has been considerable interest in the past few years in addressing some of the long-
term technical difficulties associated with retrieving valid measurements from satellite …

Investigating Short-Wavelength Correlated Errors on Low-Resolution Mode Altimetry in:
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology Volume 31 Issue 6 (2014) Jump to …

Satellite altimetry has proven a valuable resource of information on river and lake levels
where in situ data are sparse or non-existent. In this study several new methods for …

This chapter describes both the improvements in coastal altimetry on the technical side and
the ensuing applications, that is, first improvements in retracking and improvements in …

Spaceborne radar altimeters record echo waveforms over all Earth surfaces, but their
interpretation and quantitative exploitation over the Arctic Ocean is particularly challenging …
