Impact of incidence angle diversity on SMOS and sentinel-1 soil moisture retrievals at coarse and fine scales
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022-01-01)
Article
Open AccessIncidence angle diversity of space-borne radiometer and radar systems operating at low microwave frequencies needs to be taken into consideration to accurately estimate soil moisture (SM) across spatial scales. In this ... -
Study of land surface temperature anomalies associated to earthquakes using GOES data
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyAnnually, earthquakes cause human and material losses. For instance, between 1998 and 2018, 846 thousand deaths and about US$ 661 billion of economic losses were recorded due to earthquakes. Currently, there is no clear ... -
Architectural optimization results for a network of earth-observing satellite nodes
(2017)
Conference report
Open AccessEarth observation satellite programs are currently facing, for some applications, the need to deliver hourly revisit times, sub-kilometric spatial resolutions and near-real-time data access times. These stringent requirements, ... -
FSSCat Mission description and first scientific results of the FMPL-2 onboard 3CAT-5/A
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessFSSCat, the “Federated Satellite Systems/ 3 Cat-5” mission was the winner of the 2017 ESA S^3 (Sentinel Small Satellite) Challenge and overall winner of the Copernicus Masters competition. FSSCat consists of two 6 unit ... -
On the potential of empirical mode decomposition for RFI mitigation in microwave radiometry
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022-07-04)
Article
Open AccessRadio-frequency interference (RFI) is an increasing problem particularly for Earth observation using microwave radiometry. RFI has been observed, for example, at L-band by the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) soil moisture ... -
Parametric analysis of an L-band deployable offset reflector for CubeSats
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020-06-15)
Article
Open AccessThanks to the advances in the miniaturization and improved power consumption efficiency of electronics, computers, cell phone technologies, etc., today’s spacecrafts and payloads are reducing their size and increasing their ... -
Numerical solver for vertical air motion estimation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessWe present preliminary research on a method to estimate Vertical Air Motion (VAM) at a particular height by comparing the measured rain-rate (RR) by a vertically-pointing S-band Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave (FMCW) ... -
On adaptive unscented Kalman filtering for floating Doppler wind-lidar motion correction: Effect of the number of lidar measurement heights
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessThis work studies the influence of the number of lidar measurement heights on the performance of the floating Doppler wind lidar motion-correction algorithm, recently published by the authors. The work is in the context ... -
Floating lidar assessment of atmospheric stability in the North Sea
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessIn this work, the 2D parametric-solver algorithm [1] used to assess atmospheric stability from floating Doppler wind lidar (FDWL) measurements is revisited. The algorithm performance is studied using data from IJmuiden ... -
Synergistic mixed-layer height retrieval method using microwave radiometer and lidar ceilometer observations
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper tackles synergistic mixed-layer height (MLH) estimation via a combination of microwave radiometer (MWR) and lidar ceilometer (LC)-based estimates. While MLH-MWR estimates rely on potential temperature retrievals, ... -
