Monitoring Land Surface Hydrology Using Cygnss

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
The Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) is a constellation of eight small satellites, each of which carries specialized GNSS receivers to record surface-reflected GNSS signals. The L-band signals recorded by CYGNSS have been shown to be sensitive to land surface hydrologic variables, including near-surface soil moisture and inundation ...

Monitoring GPS Eirp for Cygnss Level 1 Calibration

IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
The effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of the Global Positioning System (GPS) determines the power incident on the Earth surface. It is critical to the CYGNSS mission's Level 1 calibration of normalized bistatic radar cross section (NBRCS). This paper reports a dynamic EIRP calibration algorithm that uses the CYGNSS direct signal to correct the ...

Enabling Sampling Properties of the Cygnss Satellite Constellation

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
The CYGNSS constellation of eight smallsats was successfully launched in low Earth orbit on December 15, 2016. Each satellite carries a four channel bistatic radar receiver which measures GPS signals scattered from the Earth surface, from which ocean surface wind speed is determined.

Analysis of CYGNSS Data for Soil Moisture Applications

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
An analysis of CYGNSS data is presented, with the objective of assessing the potentials of these data for land applications. The GPS-Reflections over land acquired by the CYGNSS observatories are exploited to detect properties of the land soil moisture.

Simulation Study of Cygnss Observability of Dynamic Inundation Events

IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
The Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) has recently shown exciting potential for GNSS reflectometry (GNSS-R) to resolve small-scale and dynamic hydrological features over land (such as rivers, lakes, wetlands, and urban flooding), even when obstructed by dense vegetation.

Towards An Ocean Altimetry Product Using Cygnss

IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019
This paper presents recent work being done to produce a new GNSS Reflectometry (GNSS-R) ocean altimetry product using data from NASA’s CYGNSS Mission, a constellation of 8 small satellites that measure reflected GPS signals off of the surface of the ocean.

Ocean Surface Altimetry with CyGNSS

2017
CyGNSS is a constellation of 8 small satellites launched in December 2016 that carries the Surrey Satellite Technologies (SSTL) SGR-ReSI GNSS Reflections (GNSS-R) receiver. Developed as the primary science instrument for CyGNSS, the SGR-ReSI receiver performs real time onboard navigation and generates delay-Doppler correlation maps for Earth reflected ...

Analysis of Wetland Extent Retrieval Accuracy Using Cygnss

IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019
Spaceborne GNSS Reflectometry (GNSS-R) measurements have shown strong coherent scattering over inland waters. It has been recognized that GNSS-R could be utilized for monitoring the global surface water distribution by making dynamic maps of wetlands as well as rapid response to flood events.

Sensitivity of CYGNSS-derived soil moisture to global precipitation

IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
In this paper, the sensitivity of Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) data to precipitation is investigated. First, the soil moisture (SM) is estimated from the CYGNSS and Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) data based on a three-layer model.

An Overview of NOAA CYGNSS Wind Product Version 1.0

IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020
In November 2019, the Ocean Surface Winds Team at NOAA-NESDIS-STAR released to the public their first version of sea surface winds for the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (v1.0). The reported winds are provided on a 25km grid along each track. A boxcar averaging step is included in order to remove unwanted noise in the signal.
