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 ... -
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 ... -

(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2022-06-14)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents the estimation of the hygroscopic growth parameter of atmospheric aerosols retrieved with a multi-wavelength lidar, a micro-pulse lidar (MPL) and daily radiosoundings in the coastal region ofBarcelona, ... -
Design of a deployable helix antenna at L-Band for a 1-Unit CubeSat: from theoretical analysis to flight model results
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-05-01)
Article
Open AccessThe 3Cat-4 mission aims at demonstrating the capabilities of a CubeSat to perform Earth Observation (EO) by integrating a combined GNSS-R and Microwave Radiometer payload into a 1-Unit CubeSat. One of the greatest challenges ... -
Volcanic eruption of Cumbre Vieja, La Palma, Spain: A first insight to the particulate matter injected in the troposphere
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022-05-20)
Article
Open AccessThe volcanic eruption of Cumbre Vieja (La Palma Island, Spain), started on 19 September 2021 and was declared terminated on 25 December 2021. A complete set of aerosol measurements were deployed around the volcano within ... -
Overview: On the transport and transformation of pollutants in the outflow of major population centres – observational data from the EMeRGe European intensive operational period in summer 2017
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2022-05-05)
Article
Open AccessMegacities and other major population centres (MPCs) worldwide are major sources of air pollution, both locally as well as downwind. The overall assessment and prediction of the impact of MPC pollution on tropospheric ... -
Architectures and synchronization techniques for distributed satellite systems: a survey
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022-04-22)
Article
Open AccessCohesive Distributed Satellite Systems (CDSSs) is a key enabling technology for the future of remote sensing and communication missions. However, they have to meet strict synchronization requirements before their use is ... -
DNN-based PolSAR image classification on noisy labels
(2022-04-22)
Article
Open AccessDeep neural networks (DNNs) appear to be a solution for the classification of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) data in that they outperform classical supervised classifiers under the condition of sufficient ... -
