Abstract

Nowadays, GNSS-R techniques are being used in many remote sensing applications, as altimetry and sea state retrievals over the ocean, soil moisture retrievals over the land, and ice age or altimetry retrievals over the ice. This work describes how the Interference Pattern Technique (IPT), a kind of GNSS-R technique, can be used to perform surface topography measurements over land.
