      A multi‐instrument study is conducted at the dayside polar ionosphere to investigate the spatio‐ temporal evolution of scintillation in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals during non‐storm conditions. Bursts of intense amplitude and phase scintillation started to occur at ∼9 MLT and persisted for more than 1 hour implying the simultaneous existence of Fresnel and large‐scale sized ...

    • Impact of varying solar angles on Arctic iceberg area retrieval from Sentinel-2 near-infrared data 

      Fisser, Henrik; Doulgeris, Anthony Paul; Høyland, Knut Vilhelm (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-18)
      Icebergs are part of the glacial mass balance and they interact with the ocean and with sea ice. Optical satellite remote sensing is often used to retrieve the above-waterline area of icebergs. However, varying solar angles introduce an error to the iceberg area retrieval that had not been quantified. Herein, we approximate the iceberg area error for top-of-atmosphere Sentinel-2 near-infrared data ...

    • Baffin Bay Ice Export and Production From Sentinel-1, the RADARSAT Constellation Mission, and CryoSat-2: 2016–2022

      Polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSEs) are radar echoes that are measured in the upper atmosphere during the summer months and that can occur in several layers. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between PMSE layers ranging from 80 to 90 km altitude and the solar cycle. We investigated 230 h of observations from the EISCAT very high frequency (VHF) radar located near Tromsø, ...

    • Deriving the Ionospheric Electric Field From the Bulk Motion of Radar Aurora in the E-Region 

      Ivarsen, Magnus Fagernes; St‐Maurice, Jean-Pierre; Huyghebaert, Devin Ray; Gillies, D. Megan; Lind, Frank; Pitzel, Brian; Hussey, Glenn C. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-28)
      In the auroral E‐region strong electric fields can create an environment characterized by fast plasma drifts. These fields lead to strong Hall currents which trigger small‐scale plasma instabilities that evolve into turbulence. Radio waves transmitted by radars are scattered off of this turbulence, giving rise to the ‘radar aurora’. However, the Doppler shift from the scattered signal does not ...

Cross-modality image retrieval is particularly challenging, since images of similar (or even the ...

    • Overview of the First Pathloss Radio Map Prediction Challenge 

      Yapar, Cagkan; Jaensch, Fabian; Levie, Ron; Kutyniok, Gitta Astrid Hildegard; Caire, Giuseppe (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-26)
      Pathloss quantifies the reduction in power density of a signal radiated from a transmitter. The attenuation is due to large-scale effects such as free-space propagation loss and interactions (e.g., penetration, reflection, and diffraction) of the signal with objects such as buildings, vehicles, trees, and pedestrians in the propagation environment. Many current or planned wireless communications ...
