Using the Interferometric Capabilities of the ESA CryoSat-2 Mission to Improve the Accuracy of Sea Ice Freeboard Retrievals
A significant source of error in the retrieval of sea ice freeboard from pulse-limited radar altimeters arises when scattering from off-nadir leads dominates the power echo causing the onboard tracker to “snag” and overestimate the two-way travel time. This range overestimate translates into an ocea...
