Abstract The Cryosat-2 Synthetic Aperture Interferometric Radar Altimeter (SIRAL) altimeter
is the first altimeter that can operate in three different modes over the ocean: the classical …

Small icebergs (edge lengths< 1 km) are difficult to detect and track. In a recently published
study, it was demonstrated that small targets (ships, islets,…) emerging from the sea can be …

The CryoSat synthetic interferometric altimeter (SIRAL) has been designed to extend the
coverage of conventional pulse-limited altimeters to allow the measurement of sea ice …

SIRAL (SAR Interferometer Radar Altimeter) is the new spaceborne altimeter designed for
CryoSat mission. The instrument is currently in the development phase, in ALCATEL …

Interest in icebergs has been growing in recent years (see for example the recent review by
[21]) as they may account for a significant part of the freshwater flux in the southern ocean …

Satellite altimetry has been used to derive information about sea ice thickness in the Arctic
already for several decades. As part of the algorithms applied the shape of the radar signal …

Despite the loss of CryoSat, ESAs first Earthopportunity mission, during its launch sequence
in Oct2005 ESA have been fortunate enough to have acquired, processed to Level 1b and …

ASIRAS is an airborne system designed for sea-ice and ice sheet monitoring. It has been
developed by ESA under a Technology Research Program contract. The main sensor of this …

Cryosat is an approved ESA mission. Its objective is to determine fluctuations in the Earth's
land mass and marine ice fields. The mission utilizes a completely new SAR/interferometric …

SIRAL (SAR Interferometer Radar Altimeter) is the new spaceborne altimeter designed for
CryoSat mission. This ESA mission, planned for 2004, will be used to estimate-on a global …
