Preliminary Altimetry Results of the Malygnss Instrument in the Humit Project

摘要

In order to provide high resolution soil moisture maps, the Institut Cartografic i Geológic de Catalunya (ICGC) in colab-oration with Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya are planing to deploy the ^{3Cat-3 picosatellite, which aims to estimate soil moisture from space using Global Navigation Satellite Systems - Reflectometry (GNSS-R) and to downscale it using data fusion with a multi-spectral camera. As a proof of concept, a field campaign is being carried out in Lleida, Catalunya. MALYGNSS is a GNSS reflectometer flying as an opportunity sensor that will validate the main reflectometer of the project: the CORTO instrument.}
