      Anfinsen, Stian Normann; Grydeland, Tom; Vierinen, Juha; Kastinen, Daniel; Ricker, Robert; Arntzen, Ingar M; Kero, J.; Høgda, Kjell Arild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Radar Beam-park experiments have been very successful in characterizing the distribution of space debris objects, both in terms of orbital parameters but also in terms of limiting the estimates of their radar cross section, or RCS. A recent paper \[0\] used observed range and range rates to refine orbit estimates by matching up the observed SNR curve to that predicted by simulations. This gives good ...

      Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS) is an international partnership of research institutions studying the environment and climate in and around Svalbard. SIOS is developing an efficient observing system, where researchers share technology, experience, and data, work together to close knowledge gaps, and decrease the environmental footprint of science. SIOS maintains and facilitates ...

    • Use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in a multi-scale vegetation index study of arctic plant communities in Adventdalen on Svalbard 

      Tømmervik, Hans; Karlsen, Stein-Rune; Nilsen, Lennart; Johansen, Bernt; Storvold, Rune; Zmarz, Anna; Beck, Pieter S.; Høgda, Kjell Arild; Goetz, Scott; Park, Taejin; Zagajewski, Bogdan; Myneni, Ranga B.; Bjerke, Jarle W. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) gives the opportunity to carry out research with a re-duced environmental footprint. Unmanned aircraft, including both fixed wing and multi rotor types (helicopters) allow us to collect very high resolution image data for vegetation mapping without the need for any personnel walking into the site and thereby potentially disturbing the sensitive Arctic ecosystems. ...
