- Description
- This article presents the waveform retracking technique for two predominant waveform classes near the coast: quasi-specular and multi-peak echoes. The technique retracks the truncated sub-waveform rather than the full-waveform. Sub-waveforms, which are only based on returns reflected from the water surface, are extracted and retracked using the Brown model. The retracker is applied to simulated waveforms and Jason-1 and Jason-2 waveforms in the Great Barrier Reef When using it as a supplement to the full-waveform retracker, results show that retracked SSHs can be extended further to the coastline, up to ∼2-6 km for Jason-1 and ∼1-7 km for Jason-2.
