- Delay/Doppler Altimeter data processing: The ESA Cryosat-2 mission will mount a delay/ Doppler radar altimeter (DDA), named SIRAL, for the study of trends in Earth’s continental and marine ice fields. A DDA has many advantages over a conventional altimeter, retrieving a better resolution in the along track direction as a result of coherent processing of the backscattering energy. This permits the extension of applications to ice sheet monitoring as well as coastal studies, maintaining necessary precision for the open ocean...more
