    • Atmospheric boundary layer height estimation using combined microwave radiometer and lidar data 

      Saeed, Umar; Tiana Alsina, Jordi; Crewell, Susanne; Rocadenbosch Burillo, Francisco (2014)
      Conference lecture
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      The estimation of atmospheric boundary layer height (ABLH) during a full diurnal cycle using ground-based remote sensing instruments is one of the key challenges in atmospheric science. Most of these instruments such as ...

    • Correlation denormalization in interferometric or polarametric radiometers: a unified approach 

      Colliander, Andreas; Torres Torres, Francisco; Corbella Sanahuja, Ignasi (IEEE, 2009-02)
      Article
      Open Access
      This paper presents a general analysis of correlation measurements in an interferometer or a radiometer based on noise injection and/or switching and measurement of normalized correlations (e.g., imaging synthetic aperture ...

    • Development and testing of processing software for an airborne soil moisture mapper 

      Jou Barrancos, Marc (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-07-20)
      Master thesis
      Restricted access - author's decision
      Covenantee:   Balam Ingeniería de Sistemas
      Remote sensing is a useful way of obtaining data of a given target without being in physical contact. One of the means of remote sensing is through the use of microwaves. Using passive sensors like radiometers, it is ...

    • Impact of day/night time land surface temperature in soil moisture disaggregation algorithms 

      Pablos Hernández, Miriam; Piles Guillem, Maria; Sánchez, Nilda; Vall-Llossera Ferran, Mercedes Magdalena; Martinez Fernandez, Jose; Camps Carmona, Adriano José (2016-09-15)
      Article
      Open Access
      Since its launch in 2009, the ESA’s SMOS mission is providing global soil moisture (SM) maps at ~40 km, using the first L-band microwave radiometer on space. Its spatial resolution meets the needs of global applications, ...

    • Influence of ice thickness on SMOS and Aquarius brightness temperature over Antarctica 

      Pablos Hernández, Miriam; Piles Guillem, Maria; Gonzalez Gambau, Verónica; Camps Carmona, Adriano José; Vall-Llossera Ferran, Mercedes Magdalena (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015)
      Conference report
