Coherence Tomography for Boreal Forest: Camparison with HUTSCAT Scatterometer Measurements [PDF]
, 2008 In this paper we report on X- and L-band polarization coherence tomography in boreal forest structure mapping. We take advantage of HUTSCAT ranging scatterometer measurements and compare E-SAR derived vertical structure profiles with measured vertical ...

Polar Sea Ice Detection Using a Rotating Fan Beam Scatterometer
Remote Sensing, 2023 Scatterometers are dedicated to monitoring sea surface wind vectors, but they also provide valuable data for polar applications. As a new type of scatterometer, the rotating fan beam scatterometer delivers a higher diversity of incidence angles and more ...

Exploiting Aeolus winds in a regional numerical weather prediction model
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Aeolus measured winds have proven to be beneficial for global models. However, demonstrating positive impact for limited‐area models has been a challenge so far. For the first time, we have demonstrated a statistically significant positive impact of Aeolus winds in a limited‐area model by using the 4DVar data assimilation technique and the most recent ...

Polar Applications of Spaceborne Scatterometers [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2017 Wind scatterometers were originally developed for observation of near-surface winds over the ocean. They retrieve wind indirectly by measuring the normalized radar cross section (σo ) of the surface, and estimating the wind via a geophysical model function relating σo to the vector wind.

Soil Moisture Impact on Convective Initiation
Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract The influence of soil moisture on convective storm initiation remains an open question, with previous studies showing conflicting results regarding whether storms preferentially form over wet or dry soils. Here, we analyze the soil moisture‐convection relationship using satellite observations across North America, Africa, and Australia from ...

Uncertainty in scatterometer derived vorticity [PDF]
2009 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2009 A more versatile and robust technique is developed for determining area averaged surface vorticity based on vector winds from swaths of remotely sensed wind vectors. This technique is discussed in detail and compared to two previous studies that focused on early development of tropical systems. The error characteristics of the technique are examined in
