Numerous space-borne X-band synthetic aperture radars (X-SAR) systems will be launched by European agencies in the coming decade commencing this year. Those X-SARs can measure precipitation over land, thereby significantly augmenting the sensors that comprise the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM). This will incur relatively little incremental cost because they have already been funded. X-SAR measurements...
Requirements and preliminary specifications to design a micro-satellite flower constellation, named FLORAD, of millimeter-wave (MMW) radiometers for atmospheric observations are here introduced. The FLORAD small-mission scientific objectives are aimed at the retrieval of thermo-dynamical and hydrological properties of the atmosphere. Radiometer specifications and inversion algorithms are briefly discussed,...
Several spaceborne X-band synthetic aperture radar (X-SAR) systems were launched in 2007, and more will be launched in the current decade. These sensors may significantly augment the sensors that comprise the global precipitation mission (GPM) constellation. X-SAR rainfall measurements may be beneficial particularly over land where rainfall is difficult to measure by means of satellite microwave radiometers...
