Abstract

Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) has been emerged as a new opportunity for satellite remote sensing. From the bistatic measurement of GNSS-R, various geophysical parameters can be retrieved. This work shows the possibility of GNSS-R to monitoring the tropical cyclone. For case study, the GEROS mission is considered, which plans to install GNSS-R instrument on International Space Station. From the simulated DDM, the scattering coefficient maps are restored, and the eye of cyclone is detected.
