AN IMPROVED ALGORITHM FOR THE RETRIEVAL OF THE ANTARCTIC SEA ICE FREEBOARD AND THICKNESS FROM ICESAT-2 ALTIMETER DATA

An Improved Algorithm for the Retrieval of the Antarctic Sea Ice Freeboard and Thickness from ICESat-2 Altimeter Data

ICESat-2 altimeter data could be used to estimate sea ice freeboard and thickness values with a higher measuring accuracy than that achievable with data provided by previous altimeter satellites.This study developed an improved algorithm considering variable lead proportions based on the lowest point method to derive the sea surface height for the

Quadrotor Controller Design Techniques and Applications Review

Rotor-craft style UAV, such as the quadrotor, has become increasingly popular with researchers due to its advantages over fixed-wing UAV.The quadrotor is highly maneuverable, can 2-Layer Wood Sign perform vertical take-off and landing (VTOL), and can hover flight capability.Nevertheless, handling the quadrotor complex, highly nonlinear dynamics is
