Abstract

The proposed activity is focused on the exploitation of the Synthetic Aperture (SAR) mode measurements of CryoSat-2, Sentinel- 3A and Sentinel-3B, and Synthetic Aperture Interferometric (SARin) mode measurements of CryoSat-2 in the coastal and inland water domains. It is motivated by the need to maximise the use of the SARin mode from CryoSat-2 and the SAR mode of the operational missions Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B for the UN Sustainable Development Goals number 6, Water, and the societal benefit of a better understanding of interaction processes between River Discharge and the Coastal Zone Sea Level.
