Soil moisture estimation synergy using GNSS-R and L-Band microwave radiometry data from FSSCat/FMPL-2
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-03-05)
Article
Open AccessThe Federated Satellite System mission (FSSCat) was the winner of the 2017 Copernicus Masters Competition and the first Copernicus third-party mission based on CubeSats. One of FSSCat’s objectives is to provide coarse Soil ... -
Sea ice concentration and sea ice extent mapping with L-Band microwave radiometry and GNSS-R data from the FFSCat mission using neural networks
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-03-17)
Article
Open AccessCubeSat-based Earth Observation missions have emerged in recent times, achieving scientifically valuable data at a moderate cost. FSSCat is a two 6U CubeSats mission, winner of the ESA S3 challenge and overall winner of ... -
Bayesian unsupervised machine learning approach to segment arctic sea ice using SMOS data
(2021-03-28)
Article
Open AccessMicrowave radiometry at L-band is sensitive to sea ice thickness (SIT) up to ~ 60 cm. Current methods to infer SIT depend on ice-physical properties and data provided by the ESA’s Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) ... -
L-band SAR co-polarized phase difference modeling for corn fields
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-11-15)
Article
Open AccessThis research aims at modeling the microwave backscatter of corn fields by coupling an incoherent, interaction-based scattering model with a semi-empirical bulk vegetation dielectric model. The scattering model is fitted ... -
A network of water vapor Raman lidars for improving heavy precipitation forecasting in southern France: introducing the WaLiNeAs initiative
(Springer, 2021-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyExtreme heavy precipitation events (HPEs) pose a threat to human life but remain difficult to predict because of the lack of adequate high frequency and high-resolution water vapor (WV) observations in the low troposphere ... -
Airborne GNSS-R: A key enabling technology for environmental monitoring
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021)
Article
Open AccessWeather forecast using GNSS-R relies, to a large extent, on data acquired by airborne and spaceborne platforms due to the extended coverage that can be achieved. GEO satellites can retrieve measurements over large areas ... -
A Robust Adaptive Unscented Kalman Filter for floating Doppler Wind-LiDAR motion correction
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-10-18)
Article
Open AccessThis study presents a new method for correcting the six degrees of freedom motion-induced error in ZephIR 300 floating Doppler Wind-LiDAR-derived data, based on a Robust Adaptive Unscented Kalman Filter. The filter takes ... -
Fusing Landsat and SAR data for mapping tropical deforestation through machine learning classification and the PVts-ß non-seasonal detection approach
(2021-07-26)
Article
Open AccessThis article focuses on mapping tropical deforestation using time series and machine learning algorithms. Before detecting changes in the time series, we reduced seasonality using Photosynthetic Vegetation (PV) index ... -
Phase and amplitude calibrations of rotating equispaced circular array for geostationary microwave interferometric radiometers: theory and methods
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021-03-22)
Article
Open AccessThe calibration strategy for synthetic aperture interferometric radiometers based on noise injection has been successfully demonstrated in the Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS) instrument onboard ... -
Phase and amplitude calibration of rotating equispaced circular array for geostationary microwave interferometric radiometers: Simulation results and discussion
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021-04-19)
Article
Open AccessIn the theoretical part of this work, a calibration strategy for both phase and amplitude calibration of rotating equispaced circular array based on redundant space calibration was introduced. It avoids the challenging ... -
Sea surface salinity and wind speed retrievals using GNSS-R and L-band microwave radiometry data from FMPL-2 onboard the FSSCat mission
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-08-13)
Article
Open AccessThe Federated Satellite System mission (FSSCat), winner of the 2017 Copernicus Masters Competition and the first ESA third-party mission based on CubeSats, aimed to provide coarse-resolution soil moisture estimations and ... -
A novel digital IQ demodulation for interferometric radiometers
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-03-02)
Article
Open AccessIn the frame of an SMOS follow-on operational mission, a new instrument design is being developed based on the lessons learned from MIRAS, the SMOS payload. To reduce hardware complexity and mass, digital In-phase Quadrature ...
