Great Lake Surface Characterization with GNSS Reflectometry

The objective of this effort is to advance novel methods of remotely sensing water and ice coverage on freshwater surfaces using reflected Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals. A ground-based experiment will be carried out on the Lake Michigan shoreline, the first documented study of lake ice and freshwater surface properties using GNSS reflectometry.
