Retrieving Information about Remote Objects from Received Signals

This paper considers generalized coherent-polarimetric method of retrieving information about remote objects using electromagnetic waves. Both active and passive electronic systems as well as different objects under observation, operating frequency bands, and physical meaning (interpretation) of the frequency as spectral argument can be used....

Remote Sensing of Droplet Number Concentration in Warm Clouds: A Review of the Current State of Knowledge and Perspectives

The cloud droplet number concentration (N_d) is of central interest to improve the understanding of cloud physics and for quantifying the effective radiative forcing by aerosol-cloud interactions. Current standard satellite retrievals do not operationally provide N_d, but it can be inferred from retrievals of cloud optical...

Water stress detection using radar

Vegetation is a crucial part of the water and carbon cycle. Through photosynthesis carbon is assimilated for biomass production, and oxygen is released into the atmosphere. During this process, water is transpired through the stomata, and is redistributed in the plant. Transpired water is refilled by uptake of water from the root zone in the...
