It was initially designed for measuring the ocean's topography, with reference to an ellipsoid, and for the determination of the marine geoid. Satellite altimetry has provided extremely valuable information on ocean science (e.g., circulation surface geostrophic currents, eddy structures, wave heights, and the propagation of oceanic Kelvin and Rossby waves). With more than 25 years of observations, it is also becoming vital to climate research, providing accurate measurements of sea level variations from regional to global scales. Altimetry has also demonstrated a strong potential for geophysical, cryospheric, and hydrological research and is now commonly used for the monitoring of Arctic and Antarctic ice sheet topography and of terrestrial surface water levels. This book aims to present reviews and recent advances of general interest in the use of radar altimetry in Earth sciences. Manuscripts are related to any aspect of radar altimetry technique or geophysical applications. We also encourage manuscripts resulting from the application of new altimetric technology (SAR, SARin, and Ka band) and improvements expected from missions to be launched in the near future (i.e., SWOT). 610 $awater level 610 $aALES 610 $awet path delay 610 $aCryoSat-2 610 $awater volume transport 610 $awater level time series 610 $astorm surge 610 $afiltering 610 $avalidation 610 $apolar ocean 610 $aocean tides 610 $asatellite altimetry 610 $alake level 610 $aclassification 610 $aENVISAT 610 $anumerical modelling 610 $aPISTACH 610 $awater levels 610 $aevaporation 610 $ageodesy 610 $awaveform 610 $aALES retracker 610 $awaveform retracking 610 $aunsupervised classification 610 $aCryosSat-2 SAR 610 $apeakiness 610 $aEnvisat 610 $aJason-2 610 $acalibration 610 $aSARAL 610 $aACC 610 $amicrowave radiometer 610 $aocean geostrophy 610 $adata processing 610 $afine scale 610 $aSWOT 610 $aorbit decay 610 $aAral Sea 610 $ageodetic orbit 610 $aradar altimetry 610 $aoceanography 610 $astreamflow 610 $aK-medoids 610 $aretracking 610 $aice 610 $aSWOT simulator 610 $acoastal altimetry 610 $aKa-band 610 $awestern Mediterranean Sea 610 $atopography of the intertidal zone 610 $aFVCOM 610 $aHY-2A 610 $ainland water 610 $atide gauge 610 $adischarge 610 $aERS-2 610 $amarine gravity 610 $awet tropospheric correction 610 $aSouth China Sea 610 $astack data 610 $aupper layer thickness 610 $adrifting orbit 610 $ahydrology 610 $aSentinel-3 610 $atwo-layer ocean model 610 $asatellite geodesy 610 $aFram Strait 610 $aspace gravity 610 $aleads 610 $asatellite altimeter 610 $arange precision 610 $asensor calibration 610 $aROMS model 610 $aX-TRACK 610 $aSAR 610 $aInner Niger Delta 610 $aGreenland Sea 610 $aGravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) 610 $aMekong Basin 610 $aaltimetry 610 $aHong Kong coast 610 $asoil moisture 610 $aArgo 610 $aSouthern Ocean 610 $aLandsat 610 $adielectric permittivity 610 $asea surface height 610 $alake volume 700 $aAndersen$b Ole$01786746 702 $aLebedev$b Sergey 702 $aRamillien$b Guillaume 702 $aFrappart$b Frédéric 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346678803321 996 $aSatellite Altimetry for Earth Sciences$94318904 997 $aUNINA
