Advancing Reflectrometry

Abstract

Reflectometry, a microwave remote sensing technique to extract geophysical data from scattered satellite transmissions, was first demonstrated using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) reflections. Recently, reflectometry has been extended to digital communication satellite 'signal s of opportunity', expanding its application to most microwave bands that penetrate the Earth 's atmosphere. The 2012 GNSS+ R workshop provided an opportunity for engineers and Earth scientists to assess the state of the art, demonstrate new applications, and discuss potential missions.
