A high-resolution record of surface melt on Antarctic ice shelves using multi-source remote sensing data and deep learning

While the influence of surface melt on Antarctic ice shelf stability can be large, the duration and affected area of melt events are often small. Therefore, melt events are difficult to capture with remote sensing, as satellite sensors always face the trade-off between spatial and temporal resolution. To overcome this limitation, we developed...

Understanding radar backscatter sensitivity to vegetation water dynamics: Sub-daily variations in ground-based experiments

Observing vegetation water dynamics from space offers insights into plant-water relations and water and carbon fluxes across ecosystems at local to global scales. A promising technique to observe water in the vegetation layer is radar, an active form of microwave remote sensing. Interactions between microwaves and vegetation material depend on...

SHM of Vibrating Stay-Cables by Microwave Remote Sensing

A radar equipment was used to measure the deflection response of bridge stay-cables induced by ambient and traffic excitation. After a concise description of the radar equipment and a summary of advantages and potential issues of the microwave technology, the paper focuses on the experimental tests performed on all stay-cables of the curved...
