Entropy-Based Coherence Metric for Land Applications of GNSS-R

Ilaria Mara Russo et al.

Summary: A novel metric for detecting coherence in GNSS-R signals using Von Neumann information entropy was presented and evaluated. The metric was tested on raw IF data from CYGNSS observatories to assess sensitivity to different land cover types, and its effectiveness was validated through visual comparison with Sentinel-1 images. Additionally, the entropy-based metric showed potential for improving along-track resolution on future space-based GNSS-R receivers.

A new SMAP soil moisture and vegetation optical depth product (SMAP-IB): Algorithm, assessment and inter-comparison

Xiaojun Li et al.

Summary: Passive microwave remote sensing at L-band provides an unprecedented opportunity to estimate global surface soil moisture and vegetation water content. This study presents a new algorithm (SMAP-IB) to retrieve soil moisture and L-band vegetation optical depth from SMAP radiometric observations. The results suggest that SMAP-IB performs well in capturing the temporal trends of in-situ observations and exhibits good correlation with aboveground biomass and tree height.

An Algorithm for Detecting Coherence in Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System Mission Level-1 Delay-Doppler Maps

Mohammad M. Al-Khaldi et al.

Summary: An algorithm for detecting coherence in CYGNSS mission delay-Doppler maps is presented, using estimates of power spread within the maps to flag coherence. Application of the algorithm to a large dataset shows that approximately 8.9% of inland returns are coherent, mostly associated with the presence of water bodies.

Maurizio Santoro et al.

Summary: This study utilized satellite observations to generate a global dataset of above-ground live biomass in forests, estimating the terrestrial biomass pool. Regional uncertainties were found in high-carbon-stock forests, highlighting the impact of a country's national inventory capacity on the accuracy of biomass statistics. The dataset is likely to have significant impacts on climate, carbon, and socio-economic modelling schemes worldwide.
