1. 1. Design and development of a microwave multifrequency polarimetric scatterometer for biosphere remote sensing

   Författare :Anders Stjernman; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polarimetry; scatterometer; microwave remote sensing; calibration; network analyzer based; S-parameters; scattering matrix;

   Sammanfattning : Microwave radar and radiometer techniques are used to gather crucial information about the earth and its atmosphere. The ERS-1, JERS-1, RadarSAT and NASA’s Mission to Planet Earth projects are designed to study the changing global environment. In all these endeavors, the key instrument is the radar or scatterometer. LÄS MER

3. 2. Retrieval of Wind Velocity Vectors Over the Ocean Surface with Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar

   Författare :Gisela Carvajal; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wind vector; wind direction; synthetic aperture radar SAR ; CMOD-IFR2; local gradient.; ocean winds; wind speed;

   Sammanfattning : Wind over the ocean (normally defined at 10 meter height) is one of the main parameters affectingsea state, generating waves and driving currents. Wind field maps with large area coverageand high resolution therefore represent valuable information for a wide range of applications such asinformation for shipping, which carries 80% of the world’s trade, oil platforms and other maritime infrastructures,modeling, analysis and validation of weather models, improving performance of sensorsonboard maritime infrastructures, etc. LÄS MER

4. 3. Angle dependent light scattering of functional nanoparticle composites

   Författare :JunXin Wang; Gunnar Niklasson; Anand Srinivason; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; light scattering; nano particle; absorption; radiative transfer; Solid State Physics; Fasta tillståndets fysik;

   Sammanfattning : Varies functional nanoparticles play crucial roles in energy- and optical- related applications. The incorporation of functional nanoparticles into non-absorbing polymers to form optical absorption and scattering thin films have attracted considerable interest due to a successful selection of particles and matrices, synergistic effects of separation and fixation of particles, and controllable layer thicknesses and structures.

5. 4. Preparation and optical characterisation of antireflection coatingsand reflector materials for solar energy systems

   Författare :Per Nostell; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Materials science; Materialvetenskap; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Solid State Physics; fasta tillståndets fysik;

   Sammanfattning : An angle-resolved scatterometer and an integrating sphere for reflectance measurements at oblique angles of incidence have been designed and evaluated. The integrating sphere has a centre-mounted sample holder and the detector sits at the end of the sample holder and therefore always faces the same sphere wall area. LÄS MER

7. 5. Contribution to Wideband SAR Space-Time Processing, and Radar Remote Sensing of Sea Ice

   Författare :Mats I. Pettersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAR; clutter suppression; space time adaptive processing; backprojection; remote sensing; moving target detection; radar scattering; Antenna array; wide band; sea ice;

   Sammanfattning : Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has the capability to map the Earth with high resolution and is used in both civilian and military applications. The development of SAR systems is going towards higher resolution. Today there are Wide Band (WB) SAR instruments that have a resolution actually smaller than the operating wavelength. LÄS MER
