High-Resolution Water Vapor Mapping from Interferometric Radar Measurements.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spaceborne radar interferometric delay measurements were used to infer high-resolution maps of integrated atmospheric water vapor, which can be readily related to meteorological phenomena. Maps of the water vapor distribution associated with a precipitating cloud, a partly precipitating cold front, and horizontal convective rolls reveal quantitative measures that are not observed with conventional methods, and suggest that such radar observations can be used for forecasting and to study atmospheric dynamics.

Water vapor observations with SAR, microwave radiometer and GPS: comparison of scaling characteristics
The knowledge of spatial distributions of water vapor is very important in atmospheric studies. Often satellite observations, for instance AVHRR, are used to study spatial distributions of water vapor. This method, however, has a limited spatial resolution of about 1 km and does not cover the entire atmospheric column. An alternative way to estimate the spatial behavior of the water vapor is to...

In this study, the capabilities of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) time series data and machine learning have been evaluated for land cover mapping in Iran. In this way, a time series of Sentinel-1 SAR data (including 16 SLC images with approximately 24 days time interval) from 2018 to 2020 were used for a region of Ahvaz County located in Khuzestan province. Using InSAR proces...

We have examined the precision of interferometric SAR measurements of surface deformation of the Earth using 24-cm wavelength data acquired by the Japanese Earth Resources Satellite 1 (JERS 1) spacecraft, over the lzu peninsula, Japan. Radar images acquired from 1993 to 1994 were made into eleven independent interferograms. Apparent water vapor signatures with equivalent path delay up to 16 cm ...

Satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) can be applied to study vertically integrated atmospheric refractivity variations with a spatial resolution of 20 m and an accuracy of 2 mm, irrespective of cloud cover or solar illumination. The data are derived from the diierence between the radar signal delay variations within the imaged area during two acquisitions with a temporal separation of one or ...
متن کاملMitigation of atmospheric water-vapor effects on spaceborne Interferometric SAR imaging through the MM5 numerical model
Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) imaging is a well established technique to derive useful products for several land applications. One of the major limitations of InSAR is due to atmospheric effects, and in particular to high water vapor variability. In this work we make an experimental analysis to research the capability of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models as MM5 to produce high resolu...
