This work explores the potential of space-borne X-SARs to estimate rainfall over land from both a model and retrieval point of view. The main objective is to provide a framework for a physically-based inversion of SARs measurements at X (9.6 GHz), Ku (14 GHz) and Ka (30 GHz) band over land. A forward model of SAR response will be illustrated for X, Ku and Ka bands. We will present inversion methodologies and a quantitative application to X-SAR data of the SIR-C mission in 1994.

Abstract
This work explores the potential of space-borne X-SARs to estimate rainfall over land from both a model and retrieval point of view. The main objective is to provide a framework for a physically-based inversion of SARs measurements at X (9.6 GHz), Ku (14 GHz) and Ka (30 GHz) band over land. A forward model of SAR response will be illustrated for X, Ku and Ka bands. We will present inversion methodologies and a quantitative application to X-SAR data of the SIR-C mission in 1994.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
