In their paper published in Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, CISESS Scientist Isaac Moradi and coauthors at NOAA and NASA examine how well the Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM) performs for different radar frequencies now that a new radar module is included in the latest CRTM version.

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.
