Abstract
The snow roughness at centimeter scale is an important parameter in the study of Antarctic ice cap. It is also an important parameter for the analysis of radar altimetry and SAR imagery over the Antarctic. The work done in this paper is to increase the resolution and accuracy of the roughness measurement by resampling and aligning the laser altimetry data to the GPS time grid and by using different frequency filter and correlation methods.
