- 3. 1. Introduction
• L-band microwave radiometry is the best suited for
Sea Surface Salinity and Soil Moisture e.g.: SMOS, Aquarius, SMAP missions
• The brightness temperature of the sea surface depends on:
Th ,v ,SST,SSS 1 h ,v , r f ,SST, SSS SST Th ,v , param
- salinity
- physical temperature
- sea state (surface roughness)
critical correction: . SMOS: aux. data + multi-angular information
. AQUARIUS: L-band scatterometer
• Potential solution = combination in a single instrument 3 different sensors:
- PAU-RAD: New type of radiometer measure TB
- PAU-GNSS/R: GPS reflectometer measure sea state (and altimetry)
- PAU-IR: IR radiometer measure SST
(PAU concept proposed to ESF in 2003, granted in 2004, cont’ MICIIN projects)

- 4. 2. Measurement Concept
• GNSS opportunity signals reflected over the sea
surface come from a larger area (“glistening zone”)
when the sea is rough longer delays as compared
to specular reflection point + larger Doppler shifts
• The Delay Doppler Map (DDM) provides an indication of the “widening”
of the so-called glistening zone
related to TB may be used to correct for sea state
• Sample DDMs from UK-DMC (Tcoh.= 1 ms; Tincoh. = 200 ms)
over the ocean, land and ice

- 19. 6. Conclusions
• PAU in INTA MicroSat-1 is a small secondary payload to test sea state
correction in L-band radiometric observations (TB vs Volume under the
normalized DDM).
• Combination of direct and reflected signals will allow also to “explore”
other scatterometric and altimetric measurements
• Planar antenna size limited by available space: trade-off between low
ohmic losses (~86%), “high” gain (~15 dB), side lobes (-11 dB at 90º), mass
and thickness (< 6 mm).
• Computes real-time DDMs or stores raw data for ground processing
• Engineering Model finished and first tests performed.
• Current basic processing scheme: Tcoh = 1 ms, Nincoh. avg = 100
+ blind sequential search of GPS satellites in view
