16 IGARSS 2011 VANCOUVER – Friday, July 29 – FR3.T02 The BIOMASS Mission 16 4. TropiSCAT development Project evolution/planning : October 2010 – Preliminary campaign with light equipment. June 2011 – Setup of the automatic full-polarimetric backscattering and coherence measurements. September 2011 - Setup of the automatic tomographic measurements. Instrument architecture : Antenna array configuration : 20 antennas

17 IGARSS 2011 VANCOUVER – Friday, July 29 – FR3.T02 The BIOMASS Mission The TropiSCAT experiment has been partially installed in French Guiana and is currently running The first measurements show that TropiSCAT experiment can achieve the scientific objectives The first results yield physical interpretation 17 Conclusion
