The waveform retracking algorithm is a key factor that affects the accuracy of elevation change from satellite altimetry over an ice sheet. The elevation change results from four waveform retracker algorithms (ICE1/ICE2/Sea Ice/OCEAN) provided by the Satellite with ARgos and ALtiKa (SARAL/ALtiKa) da...
