Rain-flagging of the Envisat altimeter
IGARSS 2003. 2003 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Proceedings (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37477)
Preserved Fulltext
A dual-frequency rain detection technique developed for the K u -and C-band TOPEX altimeter, is adapted for the K u -and S-band RA-2 altimeter on Envisat. ...
As the goals for altimetric measurements become ever more precise, there is concern about the reliable detection and discarding of rain contaminated data. ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This study used data provided to the RA2/MWR Cross-Calibration Validation Team by CLS, with additional waveform data disseminated by Jerome Benveniste (ESA). ...

In the case of Extra-Tropical Depressions, the classical altimeter processing can be used. Ocean signal not related to atmospheric pressure is along-track filtered. ...
The S-and C-band measurements are used because they are less impacted by rain than the Ku-band, and new sea state bias (SSB) and wet troposphere corrections are proposed. ...
The points with the ice flag, the land flag and the S-band anomaly set on are still eliminated. ...
