www.mdpi.com/journal/remotesensing Review Antarctic Ice Sheet and Radar Altimetry: A Review
Abstract: Altimetry is probably one of the most powerful tools for ice sheet observation. Our vision of the Antarctic ice sheet has been deeply transformed since the launch of the ERS1 satellite in 1991. With the launch of ERS2 and Envisat, the series of altimetric observations now provides 19 years...

Our vision of the Antarctic ice sheet has been deeply transformed since the launch of the ERS1 satellite in 1991.
