SWOT Water Surface Elevation in Herbaceous Wetlands of Florida's Everglades
Abstract Observing water level variations in wetlands is important for tracking global water and carbon cycles. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission was launched to measure Earth's surface waters, but its performance in vegetated wetlands was unknown.

Feasibility, Design, and Deployment Requirements of TCR for Bistatic SAR Radiometric Calibration
The trihedral corner reflector (TCR) is widely used as the calibration device in monostatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) calibration, and the performance of the TCR in radiometric calibration has been studied and verified in depth.

Moon Imaging Performance of FAST Radio Telescope in Bistatic Configuration with Other Radars
Ground-based radar has been used for Moon imaging for more than 60 years. Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), as the largest radio telescope on Earth, holds significant potential for celestial imaging missions with its ...

Satellite Traces: Ionogram Signatures of Bottom‐Side Upwelling Structures ‐ A Simulation Study
Abstract Satellite Traces (STs) are the important ionogram signatures for the presence of upwellings in the bottom‐side ionosphere, which provide the necessary seed perturbation for the development of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs). In this study, a virtual ionosonde experiment is simulated to investigate the various ST signatures under the presence ...

Bistatic full-wave radar tomography detects deep interior voids, cracks and boulders in a rubble-pile asteroid model [PDF]
In this paper, we investigate full-wave computed radar tomography (CRT) using a rubble-pile asteroid model in which a realistic shape (Itokawa) is coupled with a synthetic material composition and structure model. The aim is to show that sparse bistatic radar measurements can distinguish details inside a complex-structured rubble-pile asteroid.

Cosmic Rays and the Askaryan Effect Reveal Subsurface Structure and Buried Ice on the Moon
Abstract We present the first full‐wavelength numerical simulations of the electric field generated by cosmic ray impacts into the Moon. Billions of cosmic rays fall onto the Moon every year. Ultra‐high energy cosmic ray impacts produce secondary particle cascades within the regolith and subsequent coherent, wide‐bandwidth, linearly‐polarized radio ...

Passive bistatic radar probes of the subsurface on airless bodies using high energy cosmic rays via the Askaryan effect [PDF]
We present a new technique to perform passive bistatic subsurface radar probes on airless planetary bodies. This technique uses the naturally occurring radio impulses generated when high-energy cosmic rays impact the body's surface. As in traditional radar sounding, the downward-beamed radio emission from each individual cosmic ray impact will reflect ...

Abstract A multichannel ground‐penetrating radar unit, which consists of multiple fixed transmitters and receivers, allows one to obtain time‐lapse multi‐offset gathers (MOG) by fixing the unit in one place at the expense of spatial resolution. When applying common semblance analysis for dielectric constant estimation, it is important that MOG, such as
