ESA's Perspective on Microwave Remote Sensing
33rd European Microwave Conference, 2003, 2003An overview is given on the planned ESA missions for the observation of the Earth from space. The technology needs of the various, mainly passive instruments are discussed.

Overleaf: The global sea surface topography depends on variations in the earth’s gravity field, and on variations in the ocean’s surface currents. The variations due to gravity are typically 100 times larger than due to currents. The upper panel shows the mean sea surface topography from the SEASAT altimeter, computer processed to show variations as if

Remote sensing of the earth by microwaves
Proceedings of the IEEE, 1974Extant techniques for remotely sensing the earth with instruments operating at microwave frequencies are surveyed. Microwave sensors can provide day-night operation and almost an all-weather capability due to higher transmission through clouds at microwave than at visible or infrared wavelengths.

Applications of Microwaves to Remote Sensing
17th European Microwave Conference, 1987, 1987Extensive theoretical studies as well as laboratory and field measurements of rough-surface scattering and emission from agricultural soil and sea surface and of volume scattering and emission from snow and vegetation yield a considerable comprehension of the interaction of microwaves with the molecular properties and the geometrical features of these ...

Standard radiometers and targets for microwave remote sensing
IEEE International IEEE International IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2004. IGARSS '04. Proceedings. 2004, 2004We describe the NIST effort to develop brightness-temperature standards for microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies. Results of preliminary measurements at 26 GHz are presented.

Microwave Remote Sensing of the Ocean
2013The main focus of the previous chapters has been on the optical methods of ocean sensing and monitoring, in part due to the fact that the only transmission window of seawater is in the visible range. However, longer wavelengths of the EM spectra are less sensitive to atmospheric influences, and approaches have been developed for sensing the ocean’s ...

Microwave Remote Sensing with Hybrid Quantum Receiver
ACS NanoDetecting a microwave signal that is emitted or reflected by distant targets is a powerful tool in fundamental science and industrial technology. Solid-state spins provide an opportunity to realize quantum-enhanced remote sensing under ambient conditions.

Microwave Remote Sensing for Forest Monitoring Purposes
[Proceedings] IGARSS'91 Remote Sensing: Global Monitoring for Earth Management, 2005AVAILABLE DATA A multitemporal set of fully calibrated X- and C-band airborne radar data, from a deciduous forest site, was analysed. The study aimed to evaluate the capacities of imaging shortwave radar systems for forest monitoring studies and to develop a method for the analysis of a timeseries of radar images.
