Abstract
Soil moisture and snow depth data will be retrieved from a Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) instrument onboard a unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). These data will be compared with ground measurements taken coincidentally with the flight.
Purpose
The Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) has shown potential for the retrieval of properties pertaining to soil moisture and snow depth. The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo has designed and built a reflectometer for these properties. This instrument will be tested, comparing the collected data with coincident field measurements in southern Ontario.
This data set is collected for the project titled "Transformative sensor Technologies and Smart Watershed (TTWS): Work Package 2". TTWS a Pillar 3 project under the Global Water Futures Program funded by Canada First Research Excellence Fund.
