Improving the intercalibration of ?0 values for the Jason-1 and Jason-2 altimeters
The normalized backscatter from a radar altimeter, ?0, is a measure of the surface roughness at scales of a few radar wavelengths; over the ocean this is used to infer wind speed. Long-term studies of wind speed rely on consistent measurements within an altimetric mission and good intercalibration b...
