On 12 February 2026, CISESS Scientist Christopher Buchhaupt gave a talk titled “Advances in Radar Altimetry for Observing Sea State and Sea Level” as part of the STAR Science Seminar Series. He talked about the new generation of space-based instruments, which have significantly improved the ocean monitoring. He also introduced two new parameters that measure wave motion: standard deviation of vertical wave velocities and mean line-of-sight velocity.
