CryoSat shows that between 2010 and 2019, the Gulf of Alaska lost 76 Gt of ice per year while High Mountain Asia lost 28 Gt of ice per year. These losses are equivalent to adding 0.21 mm and 0.05 mm
Cryosat swath data has been used to generate for the first time elevation change at the scale of an entire mountain glacier area in PCR and HMA from radar altimetry.
Apart from Antarctica, Patagonia is home to the biggest glaciers in the southern hemisphere, but some are retreating faster than anywhere else in the world. This is because the weather is relatively warm and these glaciers typically terminate in fjords
CryoSat-2 swath radar altimetry is employed successfully to map elevation change over the Patagonian Ice Fields at sub-kilometer spatial resolution. Despite the challenging topography, similar to that of mountain glaciers, the technique can be used to observe changes over individual
Swath Processing will allow to better estimate Rates of surface elevation change, Mass loss and contribution to Sea Level Rise in the Southern Hemisphere

Last May 12th BBC News published the following article: Cryosat spacecraft´s ice vision is boosted By Jonathan Amos BBC Science Correspondent This article resume how swath altimetry processing works and explains why “European scientists have found a way to super-charge their study of
