Title
A Physical Model for GPS Multipath Caused by Land Reflections: Toward Bare Soil Moisture Retrievals
Abstract
Reflected Global Positioning System (GPS) signals can be used to infer information about soil moisture in the vicinity of the GPS antenna. Interference of direct and reflected signals causes the composite signal, observed using signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) data, to undulate with time while the GPS satellite ascends or descends at relatively low elevation angles. The soil moisture change affects bot...
