Blending 2D topography images from the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission into the altimeter constellation with the Level-3 multi-mission Data Unification and Altime... by G. Dibarboure, C. Anadon, F. Briol, E. Cadier, R. Chevrier, A. Delepoulle, Y. Faugère, A. Laloue, R. Morrow, N. Picot, P. Prandi, M.-I. Pujol, M. Raynal, A. Tréboutte, C. Ubelmann

“…In contrast, some research domains and applications require consistent multi-mission observations, such as the Level-3 ocean products provided by the Data Unification and Altimeter Combination System (DUACS) for almost 3 decades and with 20 different satellites. In this paper, we describe how we extended the Level-3 algorithms to handle SWOT's unique swath-altimeter data. …”

ALGUNAS APLICACIONES RECIENTES DE LA TÉCNICA DE RADIO OCULTAMIENTO SATELITAL EN EL ESTUDIO DE PROCESOS ATMOSFÉRICOS by Alejandro de la Torre, Pedro Alexander, Pablo Llamedo, Rodrigo Hierro, Horacio Pessano, Andrés Odiard

“…In the last years, the use of radio occultation (RO) technique to observe the terrestrial atmosphere and the climate takes advantage of the occultation of the Sun, the Moon, the stars and principally of artificial satellites of low height (LEO). In the latter case, crossed signs between LEO and GPS satellites are used. …”
