FINDINGS and RESULTS from COASTALT Phase 1

Work Package 1 - User Requirements for Coastal Altimetry

Here are the two similar surveys that were distributed to the coastal community: the PISTACH user survey and the COASTALT user survey.
The results from the surveys are in a Technical Note (D1.2) and in a summary presentation by Claire Dufau and Cristina Martin-Puig.

Work Package 2 - Improvement of Corrections

This WP has investigated the state of the art and possible improvements in the path delay corrections and geophysical corrections.
The results from WP2 work and the ensuing recommendations are in a Technical Note (D2.1 to 2.5).
One particularly valuable aspect of the COASTALT work dealt with the implementation of a novel GNSS-derived correction for Tropospheric path delay, whose results are in a dedicated Technical Note (D2.1b).

Work Package 3 - Retracking and Processor

This workpackage revolves around the COASTALT processor, whose architecture is illustrated in this poster. We also investigated innovative retracking techniques, the relevant Technical Note (D3.5) will be made available soon.

Work Package 4 - Product Specification

Here is the Product Specification Document describing the new Coastal Geophysical Data Records (CGDR)
