Improving the Intercalibration of $\sigma^{0}$ Values for the Jason-1 and Jason-2 Altimeters
2009
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters
Preserved Fulltext
For the Jason-1 and Jason-2 altimeters the derivation of σ 0 from the full waveform data is known to be sensitive to the recovered value for ψ 2 , a term encompassing both mispointing and inhomogeneities ...
The six months of data from the Jason-1/2 tandem mission reveal that different σ 0 corrections are needed for these two causes of non-zero ψ 2 values. ...
Jason-2 IGDR data were obtained from the CLS FTP server, under the OSTST-approved project 'TRIDENT II'. ...

The six altimeters were TOPEX, ERS-2, JASON-1, ENVISAT, JASON-2, and CRYOSAT-2, whilst the three scatterometers were QUIKSCAT, METOP-A, and METOP-B and the four radiometers included SSMI-F15, AMSR-2, WINDSAT ...
It was found that altimeters have the smallest error standard deviations for wind speed measurements followed by scatterometers and then radiometers. ...
