Satellite radar interferometry: Two‐dimensional phase unwrapping

R. M. Goldstein, H. A. Zebker, Charles Werner · 1 Jul 1988

Interferometric synthetic aperture radar observations provide a means for obtaining high‐resolution digital topographic maps from measurements of amplitude and phase of two complex radar images. The phase of the radar echoes may only be measured modulo 2π; however, the whole phase at each point in the image is needed to obtain elevations. We present here…

International Reference Ionosphere 2000

D. Bilitza · 1 Mar 2001

The International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) is the international standard for the specification of ionospheric densities and temperatures. It was developed and is being improved‐updated by a joint working group of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI) and the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR). A new version of IRI is scheduled for release in the…

A global mapping technique for GPS‐derived ionospheric total electron content measurements

A. J. Mannucci, Brian Wilson, Dah‐Ning Yuan et al. · 1 May 1998

A worldwide network of receivers tracking the transmissions of Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites represents a new source of ionospheric data that is globally distributed and continuously available. We describe a technique for retrieving the global distribution of vertical total electron content (TEC) from GPS‐based measurements. The approach is based on interpolating TEC within triangular…

Geodesy by radio interferometry: Effects of atmospheric modeling errors on estimates of baseline length

J. L. Davis, T. A. Herring, I. I. Shapiro et al. · 1 Nov 1985

Analysis of very long baseline interferometry data indicates that systematic errors in prior estimates of baseline length, of order 5 cm for ∼ 8000‐km baselines, were due primarily to mismodeling of the electrical path length of the troposphere and mesosphere (“atmospheric delay”). Here we discuss observational evidence for the existence of such errors in the…

Vegetation modeled as a water cloud

E. Attema, F.T. Ulaby · 1 Mar 1978

Because the microwave dielectric constant of dry vegetative matter is much smaller (by an order of magnitude or more) than the dielectric constant of water, and because a vegetation canopy is usually composed of more than 99% air by volume, it is proposed that the canopy can be modeled as a water cloud whose droplets…

Radio Science template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Radio Science format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Radio Science template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official AGU (American Geophysical Union) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Radio Science use?
Radio Science uses Author–year (APA) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B., & Lee, C. (2023). A representative article title. Radio Science, 12(3), 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Radio Science?
No. DocuGuru generates the agujournal2025 LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a AGU (American Geophysical Union)-ready Radio Science document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Radio Science template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Radio Science format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
What is Radio Science?
AGU journal. It is a earth and environmental sciences journal, published by AGU (American Geophysical Union).
Can I export a submission-ready Radio Science PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Radio Science template (the agujournal2025 class) that is ready to submit to AGU (American Geophysical Union), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Radio Science template cost?
You can start writing in the Radio Science template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Radio Science PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
