Sea ice extent mapping using Ku band scatterometer data

Although spaceborne scatterometers such as the NASA scatterometer have inherently low spatial resolution, resolution enhancement techniques can be used to increase the utility of scatterometer data in monitoring sea-ice extent in the polar regions, a key parameter in the global climate. The resolution enhancement algorithm produces images of A and B, where A is the normalized radar backscatter ...

High-resolution measurements with a spaceborne pencil-beam scatterometer using combined range/Doppler discrimination techniques

Conically scanning pencil-beam scatterometer systems, such as the recently launched SeaWinds radar, constitute an important class of instruments for spaceborne climate observation. In addition to ocean winds, scatterometer data are being applied to a wide range of land and cryospheric applications. A key issue for future scatterometer missions is improved spatial resolution. Pencil-beam scatter...

Scatterometer Resolution Enhancement - Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium Proceedings, 1998. IGARSS '98. 1998 IEEE International

AbsrractScatterometers can be effective for large scale monitoring of the Earth’s surface. However, their low resolution can limit the utility of the data. Thus, there is interest in resolution enhancement methods that can create high resolution imagery from scatterometer measurements. In this paper, a brief review of an iterative image reconstruction is presented, and the implications of this ...

High Resolution Scatterometry by Simultaneous Range/Doppler Discrimination

Several spaceborne scatterometer missions have been successfully flown in the past decade. In addition to the primary mission of measuring ocean surface wind speed and direction, these measurements have proven useful in global scale climate studies of land and ice phenomena as well. A key shortcoming of the scatterometer in these measurements has been the rather coarse spatial resolution availa...

Characterizing ]Earth's Surface Using Moderate Resolution 14Ghz Scatterometer Imagery: Early Results from NSCAT Construction

I. INTRODUCTION Currently there is an extended effort to measure and model global climate. Small-scale vegetation maps, some derived from satellite imagery, are important components of these models. Because of the very large continental regions involved, Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery and its derivative vegetation index products with resolutions between 1 and 12 km hav...
