      A new method called Bézier curve fitting (BCF) for approximating CryoSat-2 (CS-2) SAR-mode waveform is developed to optimize the retrieval of surface elevation of both sea ice and leads for the period of late winter/early spring. We found that the best results are achieved when the retracking points are fixed on positions at which the rise of the fitted Bézier curve reaches 70% of its peak in case ...
