abstract = "This paper suggests an innovative analysis method for derivation of sea surface heights in coastal areas using conventional radar altimetric waveforms. Our analysis consists of a sub-waveform detection and leading edge identification, while using information from spatially and temporally neighboring waveforms. Sub-waveform detection is done via a sparse representation approach and spatial and temporal information is incorporated by utilizing a conditional random field. Our analysis method is combined with a weighted 3-parameter ocean model retracker. Experiments are conducted using Jason-2 Sensor Geophysical Data Records (SGDR) obtained over the Northern Bay of Bengal in region off the coast of Bangladesh.",
