PAU Instrument aboard INTA MicroSAT-1: Initial results of the FM model from an airborne experiment

This work presents the PAU instrument aboard the satellite INTA MicroSAT-1. The PAU instrument is a combination of a Radiometer and a GNSS Reflectometer designed to study the relationship GNSS-R observables (Delay Doppler Maps) and the L-Band brightness temperature measurements to improve the Sea Su...

Description
Summary:This work presents the PAU instrument aboard the satellite INTA MicroSAT-1. The PAU instrument is a combination of a Radiometer and a GNSS Reflectometer designed to study the relationship GNSS-R observables (Delay Doppler Maps) and the L-Band brightness temperature measurements to improve the Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) retrievals. This work describes an airborne experiment conducted to preliminary test the PAU instrument GNSS-R observables sensibility to sea state and to explore other applications of the instrument.
