Independent Digital Elevation Model of Antarctica from GNSS-R data from TechDemoSat-1 - VERSION 2.0
Improved Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the Antarctic Ice Sheet derived from Global Navigation Satellite Systems-Reflectometry (GNSS-R). This builds on a previous study (Cartwright et al., 2018) using GNSS-R to derive an Antarctic DEM but uses improved processing and an additional 13 months of measurements. A median bias of under 10 m and root-mean-square (RMS) errors of under 53 m are obtained, as compared to existing DEMs.
Funding was provided by NERC grant NE/L002531/1.

Methodology:
Gridded group delay altimetry from TechDemoSat-1's GNSS-R data collected between September 2014 and December 2018. For full details see Cartwright et al., 2020.
Data collection:
SGR-ReSI, TechDemoSat-1
Data quality:
A median bias of under 10 m and root-mean-square (RMS) errors of under 53 m are obtained, as compared to existing DEMs.
This represents, compared to the earlier study, a halving of the median bias to 9 m, an improvement in coverage of 18 %, and a four times higher spatial resolution (now gridded at 25 km). These are the first published satellite altimetry measurements of the region surrounding the South Pole. Comparisons south of 88° S yield RMS errors of less than 33 m when compared to NASA's Operation IceBridge measurements.
