Monitoring Vertical Land Motions in Southwestern Taiwan with Retracked Topex/Poseidon and Jason-2 Satellite Altimetry
This study successfully uses satellite altimetry, including Topex/Poseidon and Jason-2, retrieved by novel retrackers to monitor vertical land motions in Southwestern Taiwan. Satellite altimetry was originally designed to measure open oceans, so waveform retracking should be applied to overcome the complex waveforms reflected from lands. Modified threshold and improved subwaveform threshold ret...
متن کاملSpatial Mapping of Time-Variable Errors in Jason-1 and TOPEX/Poseidon Sea Surface Height Measurements
Fitting ocean models to altimeter sea surface height (SSH) measurements requires knowledge of instrument noise (radar noise, sea state bias, path delay corrections, and orbit errors) and “representation” errors related to SSH signals (e.g., tidal or pressure driven) not computed in the models. Comparisons between the independent Ocean Topography Experiment (TOPEX)/Poseidon and Jason-1 altimetri...
متن کاملJason-1 / Jason-2 metocean comparisons and monitoring
The initial tandem phase of the Jason-2 mission is important for the calibration of the entire altimetric system, not just the records of sea surface height. However, as well as allowing a bulk comparison of metocean parameters such as wave height and backscatter strength (used to infer wind speed), it affords a more detailed opportunity to understand the artefacts within each instrument. The w...
متن کاملRa-2 Absolute Range Calibration
The EnviSat altimeter, RA-2, is intended to continue an uninterrupted series of measurements of sea-level and ice-sheet elevation started by ERS-1 in 1991. To fully exploit these measurements, an absolute reference in the time series, and a distinction between instrumental artifacts and significant geophysical signals, is necessary. Therefore, the range bias and instrument drift shall be determ...
متن کاملA First Comparison of Simultaneous Sea Level Measurements from Envisat, GFO, Jason-1, and TOPEX/Poseidon
The multiple altimeter missions have not only advanced our knowledge of ocean circulation, ice sheet topography, and global climate, but also improved the accuracy of altimetric measurements by cross-calibration and validation. In this paper, one year’s simultaneous maps of sea level anomaly (MSLA) data obtained from four altimeters, Envisat, Geosat Follow-On (GFO), Jason-1, and TOPEX/Poseidon ...
