CryoSat level 1b processing algorithms and simulation results

The CryoSat synthetic interferometric altimeter (SIRAL) has been designed to extend the coverage of conventional pulse-limited altimeters to allow the measurement of sea ice thickness and the elevation of the marginal regions of ice sheets. The science data acquired by the instrument is of a more co...
