5 reasons to be excited about Cryo2ice
We are living in a golden age of satellite altimetry. ESA’s CryoSat mission, with its unbroken 14-year (and counting) radar altimeter record of global ice and water, is right at the heart of it.
New query history and Time Series Processing features for cs2eo
New features have been added to the CryoSat data and information services platform cs2eo.
Unlocking ESA's Heritage Missions data archive

New Sea Ice and Snow Depth datasets, plus new geospatial coverage features on cs2eo
New features have been added to the CryoSat data platform cs2eo.
Feedback wanted on CryoSat data platform cs2eo
The data services platform cs2eo makes it easy to access, compare and download satellite altimetry data.
CryoSat data platform cs2eo features new interface and datasets
The latest updates to cs2eo, a high performance platform to access, compare and download datasets from CryoSat, ICESat-2, CRYO2ICE, CryoVEx, Cryo-TEMPO-EOLIS and Operation IceBridge, were released on 13 August.
HydroGNSS
HydroGNSS is a microsatellite mission, which is part of the Scout framework, and consists of a GNSS-R (Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry) constellation that primarily addresses land. Scout missions are a new element in ESA's Earth Observation FutureEO Programme.
Showcasing success stories from ESA's CryoSat mission
ESA's ice mission, CryoSat, was launched in 2010 and carried an advanced radar altimeter to measure Earth's cryosphere.
New campaign dataset for IceSAR 2019
A new dataset has been released for the IceSAR campaign, involving X-, C-, and L-band radar data acquired over the Arctic in 2019.
IceSAR 2019
The ICESAR 2019 study was motivated by the need to improve the understanding of radar backscatter of sea ice at different wavelengths and polarisations.

Issue with CryoTEMPO Polar Ocean Baseline C data and CryoTEMPO short downtime
An issue has been found with CryoTEMPO Polar Ocean Baseline C data, which provides sea level anomaly (SLA) and dynamic ocean topography (DOT) values over some stretches of land.

Tommaso Parrinello talks about his role as a Mission Manager for Aeolus and Cryosat.
Showcasing Fundamental Data Records for Altimetry
ESA has developed a comprehensive suite of Earth system data records as part of the Fundamental Data Records for Altimetry (FDR4ALT) project.
Cryo-TEMPO gets new Summer Sea Ice product
CryoSat’s remarkable 14-year record of global ice and sea levels got another upgrade with the release of Cryo-TEMPO baseline C, which includes lots of new features and improvements.
Featuring the power of Earth observation data at EGU
The European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2024 brings together geoscientists from all over the world, aiming to provide a forum where scientists and early career researchers can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts, in all fields of geoscience.
CS2EO
CS2EO is a data catalogue that allows users to easily and quickly combine and download airborne and spaceborne altimetry data from CryoSat-2, ICESat-2, CryoVEx, IceBridge and CryoTEMPO-EOLIS.

Sea Ice Thematic Data Product [ALT_TDP_SI]
This is the Sea Ice Thematic Data Product (TDP) V1 resulting from the ESA FDR4ALT project and containing the sea ice related geophysical parameters, along with associated uncertainties: snow depth, radar and sea-ice freeboard, sea ice thickness and concentration. The collection covers data for the ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat missions, and bases on Level 1 data coming from previous reprocessing (ERS REAPER and the Envisat V3.0) but taking into account the improvements made at Level 0/Level 1 in the frame of FDR4ALT (ALT FDR). The Sea Ice TDP provides data from the northern or southern hemisphere in two files corresponding to the Arctic and Antarctic regions respectively for the winter periods only, i.e., October to June for the Arctic, and May to November for the Antarctic. For many aspects, the Sea Ice TDP is very innovative: First time series of sea-ice thickness estimates for ERS Homogeneous calibration, allowing the first Arctic radar freeboard time series from ERS-1 (1991) to CryoSat-2 (2021) Uncertainties estimated along-track with a bottom-up approach based on dominant sources ERS pulse blurring error corrected using literature procedure [Peacock, 2004] The FDR4ALT products are available in NetCDF format. Free standard tools for reading NetCDF data can be used. Information for expert altimetry users is also available in a dedicated NetCDF group within the products. Please consult the FDR4ALT Product User Guide before using the data. The FDR4ALT datasets represent the new reference data for the ERS/Envisat altimetry missions, superseding any previous mission data. Users are strongly encouraged to make use of these datasets for optimal results.
