Abstract:
Global Navigation Satellite Systems Reflectometry (GNSS-R) ocean applications includes scatterometry and altimetry. In this work, an investigation is performed on polarimetric scatterometry over ocean surface using data from a GNSS-R experiment on-board the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission, and on ocean surface topography from the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CyGNSS) mission using new retrieval algorithms. The former one provides global coverage because of the Sun Synchronous Orbit (SSO), while the latter one focuses on tropical latitudes providing a spatial sampling of 32 swaths. First results from SMAP over the Artic Sea show clearly sea ice effects on the reflected waveforms.
