Sensitivity of GNSS-R spaceborne observations to soil moisture and vegetation [PDF]
Global navigation satellite systems-reflectometry (GNSS-R) is an emerging remote sensing technique that makes use of navigation signals as signals of opportunity in a multistatic radar configuration, with as many transmitters as navigation satellites are

Forest mapping of the Northern Hemisphere with spaceborne radar
The use of spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is fundamental for forest mapping and monitoring for the northern hemisphere because of non-adequate solar illumination for most of the year around and the sensitivity of the radar observables to forest structure. Past and current spaceborne SAR missions have not been designed specifically for forest

SPECTRASAT: A concept for the collection of global directional wave spectra [PDF]
The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery from SEASAT revealed a rich tapestry of backscatter patterns from the surface of the ocean. Although still far from being fully understood, these patterns occurred on nearly all spatial scales accessible to the ...
