Remote Sensing with multiple cooperative nanosats SysNova Challenge Weather

There is a need to achieve optimal cost effectiveness from remote sensing missions. Concurrently, a key scientific need in remote sensing is to address the spatial and temporal resolution of atmospheric measurements. Improved temporal resolution observations of the atmosphere – and importantly a reduced latency between observation and delivery to the user – can directly improve weather forecasting services.

Use of spectral information at microwave region for numerical weather prediction

In the context of satellite remote sensing, “hyper-spectral” is a generic term that means that “many channels” are observed. For InfraRed (IR) instruments, this term is associated with thousands channels, but for the MicroWave (MW) domain, an instrument with hundred of channels is already considered to be hyper-spectral. There are two main alternative concepts in using hyper-spectral information in MW:

3-D Fire Radiative Power Modelling Approach

Biomass burning is a key Earth system process, a major element of the terrestrial carbon cycle and a globally highly significant source of certain atmospheric trace gases and (primarily fine mode) aerosols. Natural and anthropogenic biomass burning occurs on all continents except Antarctica, with an estimated average of 3.5 - 4.5 million km2 of vegetation burnt in global wildfires each year (though this does not include the very large numbers of "small" agricultural fires that are difficult to map using current coarse spatial resolution remote sensing datasets).

Coastal and Open Ocean Surface Current Mission Study

Ocean Surface Current is one of the most important ocean properties for oceanographers and operators in the maritime domain. Improved monitoring of ocean currents is systematically the number one requirement that emerges from any science or end user requirement surveys. Wavemill is a novel hybrid interferometric SAR system first proposed by ESA/ESTEC [Buck, 2005]. It offers the possibility of generating two-dimensional wide swath, high resolution, high precision maps of surface current vectors and ocean topography [Buck et al., 2009].
