This paper analyzes the potential of the radar altimeter onboard ENVISAT for estimating
surface soil moisture in the semi-arid Gourma region in Northern Mali. To this end, the …

This study presents a comprehensive comparison of radar signatures acquired over West
Africa (between latitudes 0°–25° N and longitudes 5° W–25° E) at both C-and Ku-bands …

The Cassini RADAR is a multimode instrument used to map the surface of Titan, the
atmosphere of Saturn, the Saturn ring system, and to explore the properties of the icy …

Although the history of spaceborne altimeters goes back to the early seventies, the absolute
calibration of the backscattering coefficient has never been deeply investigated. This …

Time is the fundamental measurement in satellite altimetry and the key parameter in building
and keeping up a long-term, consistent, and reliable record for monitoring changes in sea …

The two-scale electromagnetic model is a well-established theory for simulating microwave
polarimetric passive observations of a sea surface. A critical aspect is the long …

Le satellite altimétrique interférométrique SWOT, dont le lancement est prévu pour 2020,
devrait pour la première fois permettre une couverture globale en quelques jours d'un radar …

As far as Ku band is concerned, the backscatter coefficient (sigma naught) of the radar
altimeter (RA-2) aboard the ENVISAT satellite has been calibrated using a transponder …
