Measurements of Electromagnetic Bias in Radar Altimetry
The accuracy of satellite altimetric measurements of sea level is limited in part by the influence of ocean waves on the altimeter signal reflected from the sea surface. The difference between the mean reflecting surface and mean sea level is the electromagnetic bias. The bias is poorly known, yet for such altimetric satellite missions as the Topography Experiment (TOPEX)/Poseidon it is the lar...
متن کاملCircular Regression Applied to GNSS-R Phase Altimetry
This article is dedicated to the design of a linear-circular regression technique and to its application to ground-based GNSS-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) altimetry. The altimetric estimation is based on the observation of the phase delay between a GNSS signal sensed directly and after a reflection off of the Earth’s surface. This delay evolves linearly with the sine of the emitting satellite elevati...
متن کاملGNSS-R Altimetry Performance Analysis for the GEROS Experiment on Board the International Space Station
The GEROS-ISS (GNSS rEflectometry, Radio Occultation and Scatterometry onboard International Space Station) is an innovative experiment for climate research, proposed in 2011 within a call of the European Space Agency (ESA). This proposal was the only one selected for further studies by ESA out of ~25 ones that were submitted. In this work, the instrument performance for the near-nadir altimetr...
متن کاملFeasibility of GNSS-R Ice Sheet Altimetry in Greenland Using TDS-1
Radar altimetry provides valuable measurements to characterize the state and the evolution of the ice sheet cover of Antartica and Greenland. Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) has the potential to complement the dedicated radar altimeters, increasing the temporal and spatial resolution of the measurements. Here we perform a study of the Greenland ice sheet using data obt...
متن کاملThe GNSS - R Eddy Experiment I : Altimetry from Low Altitude Air - craft
We report results from the Eddy Experiment, where a synchronous GPS receiver pair was flown on an aircraft to collect sampled L1 signals and their reflections from the sea surface to investigate the altimetric accuracy of GNSS-R. During the experiment, surface wind speed (U10) was of the order of 10 m/s, and significant wave heights of up to 2 m, as discussed further in a companion paper. After...
