The results of this paper suggest that the official ICE retracker for LRM data and APD-PPT retracker for SARIn-mode waveforms are the most appropriate retrackers over Dianchi Lake and TP lakes, respectively. The trend estimates of the time series derived by both retrackers are 61.0 ± 10.8 mm/yr for Gemang Co and Zhangnai Co in TP, and 30.9 ± 64.9 mm/yr for Dianchi Lake, indicating that the lake levels over three lakes were continuously rising over the study period. The results of this study show that CryoSat-2 SARIn-mode data can be used for monitoring many small lakes that have not been measured by other altimetry missions in TP.]]> Thu 04 Nov 2021 16:25:08 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48237 Thu 02 Nov 2023 14:42:55 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7487 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:37:45 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1197 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:28:40 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10681 200 m), the ocean-retracked SSHs from some of the cycles are found to be less precise when the waveforms do not conform to the Brown ocean model.

Moreover, the noise level of 2 Hz Sentinel-3A SLAs is comparable to that of the 1 Hz MBP-derived Jason-3 dataset, indicating that Sentinel-3A can provide precise SLAs at finer spatial scales. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of differences between the tide gauge SLA time series and the equivalent SLA time series at each along-track altimeter point was used to assess pointwise data quality. For both Sentinel-3A and MBP-retracked Jason-3, the along-track RMSEs of 20 Hz SLAs vary between 0.05 m and 0.2 m. The mean and standard deviation (STD) of 1 Hz SLA differences at crossover points were computed for each individual altimetry mission to assess overall data quality. When compared with the crossover analysis results, the quality of Sentinel-3A SLAs is superior to that of the retracked Jason-3 dataset in terms of smaller STDs at crossover points (8.8 cm vs. 10.7 cm).]]> Sat 08 Oct 2022 12:43:53 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42316 Mon 22 Aug 2022 09:42:27 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48500 Mon 20 Mar 2023 14:12:52 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41066 in situ anemometer and Jason-2 official altimeter product. The along-track root mean square errors (RMSEs) and biases between altimeter and anemometer wind speed time series are calculated pointwise to evaluate the data quality. The orthogonal regression analysis is computed to evaluate the overall data quality. The validation results show that the BP-derived backscatter coefficients are highly correlated with the square of the off-nadir angles. By removing this correlation-induced error, the quality of BP-derived backscatter coefficients is comparable to that obtained from the three-parameter maximum likelihood estimator (MLE3). The improved backscatter coefficients are beneficial for retrieving reliable along-track wind speed observations, which allows for lower and smoother RMSEs and biases. The 1- and 2-Hz BP-derived wind speeds achieve similar performance, implying that the application of high rate altimeter wind speeds in coastal zones is possible. We also find that the altimeter wind speeds are significantly dependent on the sea state in the last 20-km distance to the coast, where the bias between altimeter and anemometer wind speeds increases remarkably and varies inversely with the offshore distance.]]> Fri 22 Jul 2022 10:04:21 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49515 Fri 19 May 2023 17:31:07 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40605 Fri 15 Jul 2022 11:35:14 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49372 Fri 12 May 2023 13:38:02 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49351 Fri 12 May 2023 12:00:06 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34697 -1.]]> Fri 12 Apr 2019 15:45:06 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35567 Fri 03 Apr 2020 11:44:33 AEDT ]]>
