Abstract :
Alcatel Space is currently leading a stuffy for ESA for reviewing the user needs in ocean and ice altimetry and for proposing and studying new altimeter concepts. The paper presents the results of this study focusing on ocean mesoscale sea surface topography (sea state applications not addressed) applications and swath interferometric radar altimeter concepts.
