Kleinherenbrink, M. (author), Smith, Walter H.F. (author), Naeije, M.C. (author), Slobbe, D.C. (author), Hoogeboom, P. (author)We investigated the sensitivity of fully focused SAR (FF-SAR) processing of Cryosat-2 altimeter data to Earth rotation. Earth’s rotation causes scatterers at varying cross-track locations to have a different relative velocity with respect to the satellite. This second-order effect of Earth rotation on the phase is currently not corrected for...journal article 2020

Kleinherenbrink, M. (author), Naeije, M.C. (author), Slobbe, D.C. (author), Egido, Alejandro (author), Smith, Walter (author)This paper applies the Fully-Focussed SAR (FF-SAR) algorithm to CryoSat-2 full-bit-rate data to measure water levels of lakes and canals in the Netherlands, and validates these measurements by comparing them to heights measured by gauges. Over Lake IJssel, a medium-sized lake, the FF-SAR height is biased about 6 cm below the gauge height, and...journal article 2020
