An improved CryoSat-2 sea ice freeboard retrieval algorithm through the use of waveform fitting
We develop a physical model capable of simulating the mean echo power of CryoSat-2 SAR- and SARIn-mode waveforms over sea-ice-covered regions. The model simulations are used to show the importance of variations in the radar backscatter coefficient with incidence angle and surface roughness for the r...
