Estimation of vegetation structure parameters from SMAP radar intensity observations
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021-01-01)
Article
Open AccessIn this article, we present a multipolarimetric estimation approach for two model-based vegetation structure parameters (shape A and orientation distribution ψ of the main canopy elements). The approach is based on a reduced ... -

(Springer, 2021)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThis chapter critically summarizes the main theoretical aspects necessary for a correct processing and interpretation of the polarimetric information towards the development of applications of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) ... -
Monitoring changes in the coastal environment based on SAR Sentinel-1 time-series
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020)
Conference report
Open AccessThis research addresses the use of Sentinel-1 time series with the aim of detecting spatio-temporal changes in the coastal environment. To this end an automatic and unsupervised coastline detection method is proposed. ... -
Coastline detection based on Sentinel-1 time series for ship- and flood-monitoring applications
(2020)
Article
Open AccessThis letter addresses the use of the Sentinel-1 time series with the aim of proposing an automatic and unsupervised coastline detection method that averages the dynamical variations of coastal areas over a limited period ... -
A remote carrier synchronization technique for coherent distributed remote sensing systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021)
Article
Open AccessPhase, frequency, and time synchronization are crucial requirements for many applications, such as multistatic remote sensing and communication systems. Moreover, the synchronization solution becomes even more challenging ... -
Analytical computation of the spatial resolution in GNSS-R and experimental validation at L1 and L5
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-11-28)
Article
Open AccessGlobal navigation satellite systems reflectometry (GNSS-R) is a relatively novel remote sensing technique, but it can be understood as a multi-static radar using satellite navigation signals as signals of opportunity. The ... -
Technology developments for an advanced L-band radiometer mission
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020)
Conference lecture
Open AccessESA’s Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission was launched 2 Nov 2009 and, to date, is still in good health, providing valuable L-band observations of the Earth surface [1]. A number of products are obtained from ... -
Motional behavior estimation using simple spectral estimation: application to the off-shore wind lidar
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper proposes two methods to estimate the so-called “characteristic motional period” of a floating wind-lidar buoy. These techniques aim to characterise the buoy's pitch and roll tilting as simple harmonic motions ... -
Floating Doppler Wind Lidar measurement of wind turbulence: a cluster analysis
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020)
Conference report
Open AccessThe standard deviation of the Horizontal Wind Speed as a proxy of wind turbulence is used to compare the apparent wind turbulence measured by an off-shore floating Doppler lidar to the one measured by a fixed lidar on a ... -
Offshore Doppler Wind LiDAR assessment of atmospheric stability
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper tackles atmospheric stability typing using a Zephyr™ 300 offshore Doppler Wind Lidar in the context of its progressive acceptance in the offshore wind-energy industry. The lidar-retrieved wind-shear exponent, ...
