Depth Sounder Processing Algorithm Comparison

A new technique for performing precise altimetry was recently described in the IEEE Trans. on Geoscience and Remote Sensing [Raney, 1998]. This technique, known as Delay/Doppler Processing, is equally adept when applied to radar depth sounding. This page explores the advantages of Delay/Doppler Processing using data taken this past summer [1998] over the Greenland ice sheet by the Remote Sensing Laboratory of the Univ. of Kansas. We wish to thank Drs. Prasad Gogineni and Justin Legarsky for access to their unpublished raw radar depth sounder data.
