High Resolution Imaging of the Ocean Surface Backscatter by Inversion of Altimeter Waveforms
All the satellite altimeters use pulse-limited-geometry and full-deramp technique to measure the power backscatter by the ocean surface as a function of time, i.e. the altimeter pulse echo waveform, see for example [1] for explanation on pulse limited altimeters). Assuming that the distribution of the sea surface roughness and elevation are homogeneous over the altimeter footprint, the backscat...
متن کاملCramér-Rao bounds for radar altimeter waveforms
The pseudo maximum likelihood estimator allows one to estimate the unknown parameters of Brown’s model for altimeter waveforms. However, the optimality of this estimator, for instance in terms of minimizing the mean square errors of the unknown parameters is not guarantied. Thus it is not clear whether there is some space for developing new estimators for the unknown parameters of altimetric si...
متن کاملAnalyzing and Learning ECG Waveforms
In this paper we present a system which integrates an ECG waveform classiier (called PECG) with an interactive learner (called IMPUT). The PECG system is based on an attribute grammar spec-iication of ECGs that has been transformed to Prolog. The IMPUT system combines the interactive debugging technique IDT with the unfolding algorithm introduced in SPECTRE. The main result achieved in the new ...
متن کاملRetracking Jason-1 Altimeter Waveforms for Marine Gravity Recovery
In order to construct improved maps of marine gravity anomalies, we have developed and tested retracking methods for determining sea surface slopes from radar altimeter return waveforms collected by the Jason-1 mission. The accuracy of marine gravity models derived from satellite altimetry depends mainly on two factors: first, the density of ground tracks covered by the mission, and second, the...
متن کاملRetracking ERS-1 altimeter waveforms for optimal gravity field recovery
S U M M A R Y We have reprocessed ERS-1 radar altimeter waveforms using an algorithm designed to minimize sea surface slope error and decouple it from significant wave height (SWH) error. Standard waveform retracking estimates three parameters—arrival time, SWH and amplitude. We show that errors in retracked estimates of arrival time and SWH are inherently correlated because of the noise charac...
