Topographic Signatures in Aquarius Radiometer/Scatterometer Response: Initial Results

Utku, C. and Le Vine, D.M. (28-Sep-15)

The effect of topography on remote sensing at L-band is examined using the co-located Aquarius radiometer and scatterometer observations over land. A correlation with slope standard deviation is demonstrated for both the radiometer and scatterometer at topographic scales.

The Aquarius/SAC-D mission is a collaboration between NASA and Argentina's space agency, Comisión Nacional de Actividades Espaciales (CONAE). Communication, public engagement and web content for Aquarius is provided by the University of Maine. The Aquarius mission is supported by the NASA Science Mission Directorate and additional information on the Aquarius mission is available here. Click here for privacy policy and important notices.
