This work presents a novel technique for the determination of soil moisture obtaining 2-D Soil Moisture (SM) information with a single instrument. Both the instrument and the retrieval algorithm used, which is based on inferring the reflection coefficient of the terrain by direct and forward scattering polarimetric measurements of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) Signals, are briefly described...
In the last years, the GPS signals have been validated as opportunity signals in a wide range of reflectometry-based remote sensing applications for sea, land or ice scenarios. Recently, the first Galileo satellites have started transmitting the new signal E1, which shares the band with the GPS L1 signal. This work compares the performance of both signals in space and airborne scenarios for sea state...
This work presents the PAU instrument aboard the satellite INTA MicroSAT-1. The PAU instrument is a combination of a Radiometer and a GNSS Reflectometer designed to study the relationship GNSS-R observables (Delay Doppler Maps) and the L-Band brightness temperature measurements to improve the Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) retrievals. This work describes an airborne experiment conducted to preliminary...
This work presents the flight model of a PAU version to be flown in INTA's (Instituto Nacional de Técnicas Aeroespaciales, Spanish Aerospace Center) MicroSat-1 and the tests performed. PAU is a hybrid GNSS-Reflectometer / Microwave Radiometer developed to assess the impact of the sea state on the L-band brightness temperatures and on the GNSS-R observables (the Delay Doppler Maps or DDMs). The DDMs...
