First spaceborne observation of sea surface height using GPS-Reflectometry
An analysis of spaceborne Global Positioning System reflectometry (GPS-R) data from the TechDemoSat-1 (TDS-1) satellite is carried out to image the ocean sea surface height (SSH). An SSH estimation algorithm is applied to GPS-R delay waveforms over two regions in the South Atlantic and the North Pacific. Estimatesmade fromTDS-1 overpasses during a 6month period are aggregated to produce SSHmaps...
متن کاملFirst Spaceborne Observation of an Earth-Reflected GPS Signal
We present the first spaceborne observation of a Global Positioning System (GPS) signal reflected from the Earth’s surface, specifically from the Pacific Ocean. This result is scaled to obtain the expected voltage signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and altimetric accuracy for a generic GPS-reflections altimetry mission, and the current SAC-C and CHAMP missions. Cross-correlating a three-parameter phas...
متن کاملStochastic Dynamics of Sea Surface Height Variability
Sea surface height anomalies measured by the Ocean Topography Experiment (TOPEX)/Poseidon satellite altimeter indicate high values of skewness and kurtosis. Except in a few regions, including the Gulf Stream, the Kuroshio Extension, and the Agulhas Retroflection, that display bimodal patterns of sea surface height variability, kurtosis is uniformly greater than 1.5 times the squared skewness mi...
متن کاملAnalysis of Two-dimensional Sea Surface Elevation Fields Using Spaceborne and Ground-Based Remote Sensing Techniques
This study, which is performed in the framework of the European Project MAXWAVE, deals with both theoretical aspects of extreme waves description as well as new techniques to observe these waves using different remote sensing techniques. The final goal is to improve the understanding of the physical processes responsible for the generation of extreme waves and to identify geophysical conditions...
متن کاملSea Surface Wave Information Using GPS Sea Reflected Signal - Wave Height
In case of positioning by GPS, the direct signal from the satellite to the receiver is ordinarily utilized, but the multipath signal is regarded as one error source that 81 ION GNSS 18th International Technical Meeting of the Satellite Division, 13-16 September 2005, Long Beach, CA deteriorate the positioning accuracy. In this paper, we focus on characteristics of the reflected signal, and had ...
