Impact of Satellite Attitude on Altimetry Calibration with Microwave Transponders

Impact of Satellite Attitude on Altimetry Calibration with Microwave Transponders

Satellite altimetry plays a key role in monitoring changes in sea level and climate change. The quality of satellite altimetry products is commonly ensured through dedicated calibration. One such calibration is with microwave transponders acting as ground reference point targets. It is common practi...
