Given the considerable range of applications within the European Union Copernicus
system, sustained satellite altimetry missions are required to address operational, science …

Land remote sensing capabilities in the optical domain have dramatically increased in the
past decade, owing to the unprecedented growth of space-borne systems providing a wealth …

Analysis of the radar echoes from a spaceborne altimeter gives information on sea surface
height, wave height and wind speed, as well as other parameters over land and ice. The first …

Abstract The Ocean and Land Color Instruments (OLCI) operated onboard the Copernicus
Sentinel-3 satellites are providing globally distributed Ocean Color Radiometry (OCR) data …

Being the very first SAR mode altimeter tandem phase, the Sentinel-3 A/B tandem phase
has provided an unprecedented opportunity to better characterize the sensitivity of SAR …

Our work's primary goal is to reveal the problematic issues related to estimates of the
colored organic matter absorption coefficient in the northern seas from data of the Ocean …

With the success of the Sentinel‐6 Michael Freilich satellite, the satellite radar altimetry
record of sea level has now surpassed 30 years in length. This reference satellite mission …

High quality independent ground measurements that are traceable to metrology standards,
with a full uncertainty budget, are required for validation over the lifetime of ocean-colour …

Surface net radiation (SNR) is a vital input for many land surface and hydrological models.
However, most of the current remote sensing datasets of SNR come mostly at coarse …

This study is a follow-up of a full methodology for the homogenisation and harmonisation of
the two Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) payloads based on the tandem phase …
