Based on the advantages of the simultaneous observation of Sentinel-3 OLCI and SRAL, the changes in \u03c30, SWH, and SSHA caused by the ISWs are quantitatively analyzed. The results show that \u03c30 decreases and then increases after being modulated by the ISWs in the altimeter operation direction; SWH shows a large change; and the change trend of SSHA is the same as that of \u03c30. Because of the angle between the propagation direction of the ISWs and the SRAL trajectory, the actual position corresponding to the peak power in the waveform detects the ISWs before the nadir, at which time \u03c30 is already modulated by ISWs, resulting in the deviation of \u03c30. In addition, the sea surface roughness within the SRAL footprint in this case is no longer uniform, which violates the assumption of retracking and leads to the incorrect estimation of geophysical parameters such as SWH and SSHA. With a view to correcting these errors, the effect of ISWs on the retracker must therefore be considered and the model for waveform modified accordingly.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14215375","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,27]],"date-time":"2022-10-27T04:35:17Z","timestamp":1666845317000},"page":"5375","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Study of Sea Surface Geophysical Parameter Changes Due to Internal Solitary Waves Using a Sentinel-3 Synthetic Aperture Radar Altimeter"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4457-5650","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Changtian","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"First Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Qingdao 266061, China"},{"name":"College of Oceanography and Space Informatics, China University of Petroleum (Huadong), Qingdao 266061, China"},{"name":"Technology Innovation Center for Ocean Telemetry, Ministry of Natural Resources, Qingdao 266061, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Junmin","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Qingdao 266061, China"},{"name":"Technology Innovation Center for Ocean Telemetry, Ministry of Natural Resources, Qingdao 266061, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lina","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Qingdao 266061, China"},{"name":"Technology Innovation Center for Ocean Telemetry, Ministry of Natural Resources, Qingdao 266061, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1928-8556","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Institute of Oceanography, Ministry of Natural Resources, Qingdao 266061, China"},{"name":"College of Oceanography and Space Informatics, China University of Petroleum (Huadong), Qingdao 266061, China"},{"name":"Technology Innovation Center for Ocean Telemetry, Ministry of Natural Resources, Qingdao 266061, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9684-1722","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haiqi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Oceanography and Space Informatics, China University of Petroleum (Huadong), Qingdao 266061, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"451","DOI":"10.1126\/science.208.4443.451","article-title":"Internal solitons in the Andaman Sea","volume":"208","author":"Osborne","year":"1980","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Russell, J.S., Esq, M.A., and Edin, F.R.S.
