Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellites transmits navigation signals from Earth orbits to terrestial receivers to help them find their location. Many nations have deployed their own satellite constellations for positioning, and new receivers can use all of them. Currently available constellations are

  • G: GPS, Global Positioning System, United States
  • R: GLONASS, Russia
  • E: Galileo, European Space Agency
  • J: QZSS, Japan
  • C: BDS, Beidou, China
  • I: IRNSS Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System
  • S: SBAS payload
  • M: Mixed


These radio signals are also reflecting from the ground and by monitoring these reflections, the properties of the ground can be examined [1]. This kind of analysis is called as GNSS reflectometry (GNSS-R) [2].

Terrestial GNSS-R measurements include two antennas, on of which is receiving the direct signal from the satellite, and the other forward-scattered reflected signal. Satellite-based GSNS-R measures the GNSS signal backscatter from the Earth. GNSS-R bacscatter data has been collected by ESA's TechDemoSat-1 (TDS-1) satellite and with NASA's CYGNSS satellite constellation. Observation data can be downloaded from their portals.

GNSS reflectometry has been used for detecting sea ice thickness [3] [4] [5][6] [7][8] [9][10][11][12] GNSS-R is also popular for other sea target analysis which is not directly related to icing. [1] [13][14]. Many research articles concentrating in method develoment, are also indirectly related to icing [15] [16]
