Retrieval of snow freeboard of Antarctic sea ice using waveform fitting of CryoSat-2 returns

<p>In this paper we develop a CryoSat-2 algorithm to retrieve the surface elevation of the air–snow interface over Antarctic sea ice. This algorithm utilizes a two-layer physical model that accounts for scattering from a snow layer atop sea ice as well as scattering from below the snow surface...
