GNSS-R: a useful tool for sea target detection in near real-time

This paper investigates a novel application of Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) in the fields of maritime surveillance and safety, and climate change analysis, namely sea target detection in near real-time. Potentialities of the recent GNSS-R technology in the detection of t...
