1 HY-2A Satellite Altimetric data Evaluation in the Arctic Ocean Yongcun Cheng Ole Baltazar Andersen

2 2IGARSS 2014 07/18/2014 Outline 1.Introduction  Status of altimetric data in the Arctic Ocean (>66ºN)  HY-2A (Data from NSOAS, IGDR)  SARAL/AltiKa  CryoSat-2 2. HY-2A altimetric data in the Arctic Ocean  Applied range and geophysical corrections  Comparision with RADS Altika and CryoSat-2 data  DUACS NRT HY-2A data  20+ years of sea level timeries in the Arctic Ocean 3. Summary

3 3IGARSS 2014 07/18/2014 Data Status Feb. Mar. 1 Jul. Data availability in along-track RADS (ERS-1/2-Envisat), reprocessed (ERS-1/2-Envisat) and DUACS gridded weekly sea level products. Envisat was dead in April 2012. HY-2, CryoSat-2 and Altika available in the Arctic Ocean. 0

4 4IGARSS 2014 07/18/2014 HY-2A overview o HY-2A (‘HaiYang’ denotes Ocean) from the National Satellite Ocean Application Service has been designed for the monitoring the Ocean dynamics. o HY-2A was launched in August 2011. o HY-2A payloads: Radar altimeter (Ku and C bands), orbit altitude of 965 km, sun-synchronous with 99º inclination. o Repeat cycle: 14 days (for three years) and 168 days. o Data available from NSOAS.

5 5IGARSS 2014 07/18/2014 SARAL/AltiKa overview o Operator: ISRO/CNES, enable better observation of ice, rain, coastal zones, land masses (forests, etc.), and wave heights. o SARAL was launched in Feb, 2013. o SARAL payloads: Radar altimeter (Ka band), orbit altitude of 800 km, sun- synchronous with 98.55º inclination. o Repeat cycle: 35 days (the same ground- track as Envisat) o Data available from RADS.

6 6IGARSS 2014 07/18/2014 CryoSat-2 overview The SAR mode (green) operated over ice-covered regions and the coastal zone. The SAR Interferometric (SARIn) and Low Resolution Mode (LRM) modes are in purple and red, respectively (https://earth.esa.int).https://earth.esa.int Data available from RADS.

19 19IGARSS 2014 07/18/2014 Summary 1.HY-2A satellite altimetry provides valuable data in the Arctic Ocean. 2.More alternative range and geophysical corrections are required in the released HY-2A data sets for comparison. 3.The bias among the satellite altimetry missions needs further investigation to improve the long term sea level time series in the Arctic Ocean. 4.SLA ‘drops’ in 2013 needs further investigation.
