Abstract
Characterizing, understanding, and projecting changes in atmospheric methane and terrestrial water storage require information about wetland dynamics, which remains a major gap in existing knowledge. Despite recent advances in satellite monitoring techniques, dynamic wetland mapping needs to be improved for more accurate global inventories and also to monitor variabilities at sub-km scale over multiple decades. It has been shown that Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) Reflectometry (GNSS-R) signatures off inundated wetlands can be identified under different vegetation conditions including a dense rice canopy and a thick forest with tall trees, where optical sensors and monostatic radars provide limited capabilities. In this study, we will further investigate the capabilities of the GNSS-R technique for wetland monitoring from aircraft platforms.
