Geophysical validation of NSCAT winds using atmospheric data and analyses

ASCAT L2 winds Data Record validation report

Cryosphere applications of NSCAT data

Though designed to measure vector winds over the ocean, new imaging techniques facilitate the use of NASA Scatterometer data (NSCAT) in cryosphere studies. NSCAT provides data of unprecedented coverage, resolution, and quality which, when coupled with the scatterometer image reconstruction with filtering (SIRF) algorithm, enables images of σ at resolutions approaching 8 km over stationary targe...

Geophysical and atmospheric evolution of habitable planets.

The evolution of Earth-like habitable planets is a complex process that depends on the geodynamical and geophysical environments. In particular, it is necessary that plate tectonics remain active over billions of years. These geophysically active environments are strongly coupled to a planet's host star parameters, such as mass, luminosity and activity, orbit location of the habitable zone, and...

impact of topographic and atmospheric masses over iran on validation and inversion of goce gradiometric data

the dedicated satellite mission goce will sense various small mass variations along its path around the earth. here we study the effect of the earth’s topography and atmosphere on goce data. the effects depend on the magnitude of topographic height, and they will therefore vary by region. as the effect of the atmosphere and topography must be removed from the total gravity anomaly prior to geoi...
