Interferometric orbital tracking of SAR missions with large processing gain
(VDE-Verlag, 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessThe performance of a compact baseline interferometer for orbit observation of SAR missions is assessed. The proof of concept is carried out by tracking the non-cooperative ASTRA 1M satellite. A nominal slave-master baseline ... -
Monitoring and study of mountainous regions in the Pyrenees area based on polarimetric RADARSAT-2 Data
(European Space Agency (ESA), 2013)
Conference report
Open AccessSnow monitoring is essential for scientific and social hydrological applications. Information about spatial and temporal variability of snow parameters is needed for the modeling and forecasting of snow involved phenomena ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
In-cabin 120 GHz radar system for functional human breathing monitoring in a 3D scenario
(Íñigo Cuiñas Gómez, 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessDriving is one of the activities that takes a significant part of a person’s time, that is why monitoring vital signs is useful for the wellness of the occupants of the vehicle. One of the vital signs that provides more ... -
SMOS instrument performance after more than 11 years in orbit
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission [1] has been in orbit for over 11 years, and its Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS) in two dimensions keeps being fully operational. This ... -
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, ...
