The Effect of Atmospheric Water Vapor Content on the Performance of Future Wide-Swath Ocean Altimetry Measurement
Description: Measurement of sea surface height (SSH) over a finite swath along satellite tracks has been planned for future space missions. The effect of water vapor in the troposphere on the delay of radar signal must be corrected for in the SSH measurement. The efficacy of a nadir-looking radiometer that has been the approach for conventional altimetry is examined in the study. [Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology]
