Sensitivity Study of Multiconstellation GNSS-R to Soil Moisture and Surface Roughness Using FY-3E GNOS-II Data
Résumé
The potential of spaceborne global navigation satellite system reflectometry (GNSS-R) to retrieve a variety of geophysical parameters has already been demonstrated in numerous studies. In 2021, China successfully launched the Fengyun-3E (FY-3E) polar orbit satellite. It carries the GNSS occultation sounder-II (GNOS-II) that can simultaneously receive reflected signals from the global positioning system, BeiDou, and Galileo constellations. Multiconstellation measurement significantly reduces the revisit time of the spaceborne GNSS-R data. This offers the possibility to study the sensitivity of the reflected signals from multi-GNSS constellations to surface parameters at global scale. The main objective of this article is to analyze the sensitivity of FY-3E GNOS-II surface reflectivity (SR) to soil moisture (SM), vegetation, and surface roughness for different GNSS constellations, and different incidence angles. FY-3E data from May 2023 to October 2023 were collected along with SM data from the soil moisture active passive (SMAP). The SMAP static auxiliary surface roughness parameter SMAP-h was
