Estimation of Atmospheric Path Delays in TerraSAR-X Data using Models vs. Measurements

Estimation of Atmospheric Path Delays in TerraSAR-X Data using Models vs. Measurements

Spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurements of the Earth’s surface depend on electromagnetic waves that are subject to atmospheric path delays, in turn affecting geolocation accuracy. The atmosphere influences radar signal propagation by modifying its velocity and direction, effects...
