Storm surge prediction with cygnss winds

2017 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2017
The NASA Earth Venture Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) is a constellation of eight observatories in a 35° inclination, ∼530 km altitude Earth orbit. Each observatory carries a 4-channel bistatic wind scatterometer receiver. Measurements of the ocean surface scattering cross section are converted to 10 meter-referenced wind speed ...

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 ...

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 ...

Inland Water Body Mapping Using CYGNSS Coherence Detection

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2021
This work demonstrates the creation of dynamic inland water body masks at spatial resolutions ranging from 1 to 3 km through the use of a recently developed coherence detector for the delay-Doppler maps produced by the cyclone global navigation satellite system (CYGNSS) constellation.

Water Depth Retrieval in the Everglades Using Cygnss

2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS, 2021
Quantitative observations of dynamic changes in water extent and depth of the world's wetlands are currently limited by traditional remote sensing methods, which have difficulty observing surface water beneath dense vegetation and clouds. A novel remote sensing technique known as GNSS Reflectometry (GNSS-R) has shown great potential in the detection of

CYGNSS: NASA Earth Venture Tropical Cyclone Mission

SPIE Proceedings, 2014
The NASA Earth Venture Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) is a spaceborne mission scheduled to launch in October 2016 that is focused on tropical cyclone (TC) inner core process studies. CYGNSS attempts to resolve one of the principle deficiencies with current TC intensity forecasts, which lies in inadequate observations and modeling ...

Cygnss Soil Moisture Estimation Using Machine Learning Regression

2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS, 2021
Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) can retrieve Earth's surface parameters, such as soil moisture (SM) using the reflected signals transmitted from GNSS constellations. GNSS-R has advantages of non-contact, large coverage area, real-time, and continuity.
