Article
Open AccessIn this column, we present a summary of the Third Remote Sensing Spring School at the Teófilo Tabanera Space Center, Córdoba, Argentina, 10–21 September 2018, to support the launch of the Satélite Argentino de Observación ... -
Analyzing spatio-temporal factors to estimate the response time between SMOS and in-situ soil moisture at different depths
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-08-13)
Article
Open AccessA comprehensive understanding of temporal variability of subsurface soil moisture (SM) is paramount in hydrological and agricultural applications such as rainfed farming and irrigation. Since the SMOS (Soil Moisture and ... -
Monitoring forest above-ground biomass from multifrequency vegetation optical depth: a preliminary study
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessVegetation Optical Depth (VOD) is highly sensitive to Above-ground Biomass (AGB), particularly at L-band, as this band is more sensitive to the canopy layer and has greater ca pacity to penetrate the vegetation. However, ... -
On the trade-off between enhancement of the spatial resolution and noise amplification in conical-scanning microwave radiometers
(2022-01-01)
Article
Open AccessThe ability to enhance the spatial resolution of measurements collected by a conical-scanning microwave radiometer (MWR) is discussed in terms of noise amplification and improvement of the spatial resolution. Simulated ... -
Improving PSI processing of mining induced large deformations with external models
(VDE-Verlag, 2021)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe surface deformation caused by coal mining may cause various geological disasters. Many scholars use for mine monitoring Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) combined with external models to compensate the phase ... -
The GRSS standard for GNSS-reflectometry
(2020)
Conference report
Open AccessIn February 2019 a Project Authorization Request was approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association with the title “Standard for Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry ... -
Probabilistic inference method to discriminate closed water from sea ice using SENTINEL-1 Sar signatures
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessConsistent sea ice monitoring requires accurate estimates of sea ice concentration. Current retrieval algorithms are based on low-resolution microwave radiometry data with limited penetration depth and are unable to resolve ... -
On the detection of RFI through the correlation anomaly at different time lags
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessMicrowave radiometers can be considerably affected by Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). These man-made interference conceal the underlying natural signal, preventing the retrieval of geophysical variables. Adopting ... -
Correlated triple collocation to estimate SMOS, SMAP and ERA5-Land soil moisture errors
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThe novel Correlated Triple Collocation (CTC) analysis allows to assess three different data sources of similar spatial resolutions, but with two of them being correlated. In this study, the CTC was applied to estimate the ... -
