GNSS-R Delay-Doppler Maps over land: Preliminary results of the GRAJO field experiment

Within the ESA´s SMOS CAL/VAL activities, the GPS and Radiometric Joint Observations (GRAJO) field experiment was conducted. Apart from contributing to the SMOS CAL/VAL, the main purpose of the GRAJO experiment was to study the synergy of L-band radiometry and GNSS Reflectometry for soil moisture retrieval. Long-term experiments under controlled conditions. During one of these intensive short term experiments, the griPAU instrument (a Delay-Doppler Map GNSS-R receiver) was set up. The first results derived from the griPAU measurements are presented.
