Journal ArticleDOI
Detection and Processing of bistatically reflected GPS signals from low Earth orbit for the purpose of ocean remote sensing
Scott Gleason,S. Hodgart,Yiping Sun,Christine Gommenginger,S. Mackin,Mounir Adjrad,Martin Unwin +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that ocean-reflected signals from the global positioning system (GPS) navigation satellite constellation can be detected from a low-earth orbiting satellite and that these signals show rough correlation with independent measurements of the sea winds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spaceborne GNSS reflectometry for ocean winds: First results from the UK TechDemoSat‐1 mission
Giuseppe Foti,Christine Gommenginger,Philip Jales,Martin Unwin,Andy Shaw,Colette Robertson,Josep Rosello +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented results for ocean surface wind speed retrieval from reflected GPS signals measured by the Low Earth-Orbiting UK TechDemoSat-1 satellite (TDS-1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity of GNSS-R Spaceborne Observations to Soil Moisture and Vegetation
Adriano Camps,Hyuk Park,Miriam Pablos,Giuseppe Foti,Christine Gommenginger,Pang-Wei Liu,Jasmeet Judge +6 more
TL;DR: Experimental results for low NDVI values show a large sensitivity to soil moisture and a relatively good Pearson correlation coefficient, and as the vegetation cover increases (NDVI increases) the reflectivity, the sensitivity to soils moisture and the Pearson correlation coefficients decreases, but it is still significant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spaceborne GNSS-R Minimum Variance Wind Speed Estimator
TL;DR: The MV estimator is applied here to UK-DMC data, but it can be easily adapted to retrieve wind speed for forthcoming GNSS-R missions, including the UK's TechDemoSat-1 (TDS-1) and NASA's Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS).
Book ChapterDOI
Retracking Altimeter Waveforms Near the Coasts
Christine Gommenginger,Pierre Thibaut,Luciana Fenoglio-Marc,Graham D. Quartly,Xiaoli Deng,Jesús Gómez-Enri,Peter Challenor,Y. Gao +7 more
TL;DR: This chapter presents observational evidence of the huge diversity and complexity of waveforms seen by contemporary altimeters in coastal areas and conducts a review of waveform retracking methods, examining first empirical methods, then so-called physically-based methods, including discussion of some of their implementation intricacies.
