6 Waveform retracking 3 meter Model or functional fit to the waveform - Deconvolution, NASA s β-retracker Empirical approach - threshold, modified threshold (Lee et al., 2008)
7 WAVEFORM RETRACKING ALGORITHMS NASA β-retracker (Martin et al., 1983) Offset Center of Gravity (OCOG) (Bamber, 1994) R = 3 ( β tracking gate) s Leading edge position = Position ½*Width

9 NASA/CNES Surface Water and Ocean Topography Mission Conventional radar altimeter with a spatial resolution of 6-7 km does not provide a complete picture of the vector field of ocean currents and gravity anomalies In order to map the sea-surface height in two dimensions with comparable resolutions, a new type of radar instrument has been developed at JPL using the principle of radar interferometry The new measurement will be made over a swath 200km wide, providing an image of seasurface height instead of a profile(15km x 15km resolution) Planned 2019 Launch Courtesy, E. Rodriguez
