Recently, new applications explore the possibility to use the GPS signals scattered off the Earth\u2019s surface and sensed by an airborne or spaceborne receiver in a bistatic radar geometry, as a means of performing altimetry and scatterometry. At present, the ultimate influence of the different GNSS\u2010R (Global Navigation Satellite Systems Reflectometry) parameters in the precision and accuracy of the altimetric products is still being analyzing. The impact of different noise sources as well as the theoretical height precision expectations and the corrections of different bias terms must be correlated with results obtained in a real scenario. The main goal of this experiment is to test PYCARO (P(Y) &amp; C\/A ReflectOmeter). PYCARO is a new reflectometer developed at UPC (Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya\u2010Barcelona Tech), which takes full advantage of the latest developments in GNSS technology.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tsc.upc.edu\/tormes\/\">Project Website<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tsc.upc.edu\/tormes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/TORMES_p12.pdf\">Presentation on TORMES<\/a>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TOpography from Reflectometric Measurements:an Experiment from the StratosphereBEXUSThe REXUS\/BEXUS programme allows students from universities and higher education colleges across Europe to carry out scientific and technological experiments on research rockets and balloons.
