How to Make Earth Observation More Efficient; a Short Interview with GeoOptics’ Founder.
Milton Friedman’s “If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years there’d be a shortage of sand” alludes to the fact that how it would become more efficient and agile if government-run projects were fully operated by privately-run teams. This liberal attitude has become a motivation for me to… More
GNSS-Scatterometry Challenges in Lake Ice Remote Sensing
Delay-Doppler Maps (DDMs) have already shown promising potentials in the sea ice remote sensing, including ice recognition and sea ice thickness estimation. However, this kind of products is yet to be tested for lake ice remote sensing, which looks more challenging than that of sea ice, especially for mid-latitude ones. Generally speaking, two main approaches… More
Importance of Effective Isotropic Radiative Power (EIRP) for GNSS-R Lake Ice Remote Sensing
GNSS-R applications for lake ice remote sensing is still under study, and there are many vague points in this subject, especially for those like me who are “encore vert” in this topic. Among various corrections and calibrations must be made on GNSS-R data, EIRP looks decisive; however, a genius solution has been recently proposed for… More
