A comparison of the performance of the ice and ocean tracking modes of the ERS‐1 radar altimeter over non‐ocean surfaces

The European Space Agency's ERS-1 radar altimeter is the first to include separate operating modes to optimise performance over both ocean and non-ocean surfaces. As part of the ERS-1 commissioning activities, we have carried out a study of the tracking performance of this instrument over non-o...
