Directional Wave Spectra Measured with the Surface Contour Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Surface Contour Radar is a 36-GHz computer-controlled airborne radar which generates a false-color coded elevation map of the sea surface below the aircraft in real-time, and can routinely produce ocean directional ...
Assessment of the Cycle-to-Cycle Noise Level of the Geosat Follow-On, TOPEX, and Poseidon Altimeters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Geodetic Satellite (Geosat) Follow-On (GFO), Ocean Topography Experiment (TOPEX), and Poseidon altimeter white-noise levels have been evaluated using a technique based on high-pass filtering of 1-Hz sea surface height ...
Profiling Sea Ice with a Multiple Altimeter Beam Experimental Lidar (MABEL)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he sole instrument on the upcoming Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat-2) altimetry mission is a micropulse lidar that measures the time of flight of individual photons from laser pulses transmitted at 532 nm. ...
