近岸海域EnviSat卫星测高波形重定的Threshold优化算法

Optimal threshold algorithm of EnviSat waveform retracking over coastal sea

波形重定是改善近岸海域卫星测高数据精度的一种有效方法.分析了EnviSat雷达测高波形重定算法,并对Threshold算法进行了优化,开发了波形重定程序;以地中海为实验区,利用几种波形重定方法,对近岸海域的EnviSat测高波形进行重定,认为优化的Threshold算法是几种波形重定算法中最稳健的重定算法,适合于地中海近岸海域EnviSat测高波形的重定,对其他近岸海域的应用也有一定的参考意义.

Waveform retracking is an effective method to improve the accuracy of sea surface height measurement with the satellite altimetric technique. The improved threshold retracking algorithm is optimized in the paper. Several waveform retracking algorithms are analyzed. Then a waveform retracking system is programmed. Several retracking methods are used to retrack the EnviSat waveform over the Mediterranean Sea. The improved threshold retracking algorithm is the most robust retracking method and more suitable for the EnviSat waveform retracking over the coastal Mediterranean.
