TL;DR: Overall performance, as determined by the top-down method, is decomposed using the bottom-up approach into its contributing sources of error, and an increase in the retrieval error is primarily caused by a decrease in the sensitivity of the ocean scattering cross section to changes in wind speed.

TL;DR: The calibration algorithm used by the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) mission to produce version 2.1 of its Level 1 (L1) science data products is described and a method for calibrating the time delay of CYGNSS measurements is presented.

TL;DR: The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission is a constellation-based satellite mission designed to unify and advance precipitation measurements using both research and operational microwave sensors as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The NASA Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) constellation of eight satellites was successfully launched into low Earth orbit on 15 December 2016 as mentioned in this paper, each satellite carries a r...

TL;DR: In this article, a ground-based GPS constellation power monitor (GCPM) system has been built to accurately and precisely measure the direct GPS signals, which has been successfully applied to the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) L1B calibration and found to significantly reduce the PRN dependence of CYGNSS L1 and L2 data products.
