Microwave Radar and Radiometric Remote Sensing
Fawwaz T. Ulaby,David G. Long,William J. Blackwell,Charles Elachi,Adrian K. Fung,Christopher S. Ruf,Kamal Sarabandi,Howard A. Zebker,Jakob van Zyl +8 more
TL;DR: This comprehensive and up-to-date resource provides you with theoretical models, system design and operation, and geoscientific applications of active and passive microwave remote sensing systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interferometric synthetic aperture microwave radiometry for the remote sensing of the Earth
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented an alternative to real aperture measurements of the Earth's brightness temperature from low Earth orbit using a single interferometric measurement, and the noise characteristics of the brightness temperature image produced from the interferometer measurements are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Aquarius/SAC-D mission: Designed to meet the salinity remote-sensing challenge
Gary Lagerloef,F. Raul Colomb,Davide Le Vine,Frank Wentz,Simon Yueh,Christopher S. Ruf,Jonathan M. Lilly,John T. Gunn,Yi Chao,Annette deCharon,Gene C. Feldman,Calvin T. Swift +11 more
TL;DR: The Aquarius/SAC-D mission as discussed by the authors was designed to provide monthly global salinity measurements at a similar, scientifically useful accuracy and spatio-temporal resolution, and it came at a time of growing scientific awareness of the need for the data.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Ocean Winds Satellite Mission to Probe Hurricanes and Tropical Convection
Christopher S. Ruf,Robert Atlas,Paul Chang,Maria Paola Clarizia,James L. Garrison,Scott Gleason,Stephen J. Katzberg,Zorana Jelenak,Joel T. Johnson,Sharanya J. Majumdar,Andrew O'Brien,Derek J. Posselt,Aaron J. Ridley,Randall Rose,Valery U. Zavorotny +14 more
TL;DR: The Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) is a new NASA earth science mission scheduled to be launched in 2016 that focuses on tropical cyclones and tropical convection as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
CYGNSS: Enabling the Future of Hurricane Prediction [Remote Sensing Satellites]
Christopher S. Ruf,A. Lyons,Martin Unwin,John Dickinson,Randall Rose,Debi Rose,Michael Vincent +6 more
TL;DR: The CYGNSS mission as mentioned in this paper employs a constellation of science-based microsats to fill a gap in capabilities of existing large systems at a fraction of the cost, which will result in unprecedented coverage of windswithin a TC throughout its life cycle and thus provide critical data necessary for advancing the forecast of TC intensification.
