The PARIS concept: an experimental demonstration of sea surface altimetry using GPS reflected signals

Abstract: This paper presents the passive reflectometry and interferometry system (PARIS) concept and how it originated in the European Space Agency (ESA), Noordwijk, The Netherlands, in 1993 as a novel method to perform mesoscale ocean altimetry. The PARIS concept uses signals of opportunity such as the signals from the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), which are reflected off the ocean surface to perform mesoscale ocean altimetry. Essentially, the relative delay between the direct and the reflected signals r… Show more

“…In this section a signal is considered which is transmitted by a crossed dipole and coherently reflected from a plane, mirror-like surface at an incidence angle θ (e.g., Anderson, 2000;Treuhaft et al, 2001;Martín-Neira et al, 2001;Cardellach et al, 2006). In the following, incoherent signal components in the reflected signal are not taken into account.…”

“…Bistatic applications were investigated in the fields of target detection [6,7] and planetology [8]. As for Earth Observation, oceanographic studies exploiting the GPS signal were carried out, including altimetric applications (measure of the sea level and of the associated oceanographic features) and scatterometric applications (measure of the near surface wind field) [9,10], while interferometric applications were addressed in [11]. In consequence of the recent launch of the new generation of X-band radars (TerraSAR-X, COSMO-SkyMed), experiments involving X-band have been accomplished in order to evaluate the additional information contained in the bistatic reflectivity of targets (e.g., [12]).…”

“…The first GPS signals reflected from the sea surface inside tropical cyclones were analyzed, and the wind speed results were obtained (Katzberg et al, 2001). Currently, the GPS reflected signals from the ocean surface can measure sea surface height with the achievable accuracy (Martin-Neira et al, 2001;Katzberg and Dunion, 2009). …”
