Rain-flagging of the Envisat altimeter
Rain-flagging of the Envisat altimeter
As the goals for altimetric measurements become ever more precise, there is concern about the reliable detection and discarding of rain contaminated data. A dual-frequency rain detection technique developed for the Ku- and C-band TOPEX altimeter, is adapted for the Ku- and S-band RA-2 altimeter on Envisat. Of particular concern is the selection of a suitable threshold to minimise the quantity of good data inadvertently discarded.

Abstract
As the goals for altimetric measurements become ever more precise, there is concern about the reliable detection and discarding of rain contaminated data. A dual-frequency rain detection technique developed for the Ku- and C-band TOPEX altimeter, is adapted for the Ku- and S-band RA-2 altimeter on Envisat. Of particular concern is the selection of a suitable threshold to minimise the quantity of good data inadvertently discarded.
