In the present paper, we describe a new polarimetric GNSS-R system, referred to as the GLObal navigation satellite system Reflectometry Instrument (GLORI), dedicated to the study of land surfaces (soil moisture, vegetation water content, forest biomass) and inland water bodies. This system was installed as a permanent payload on a French ATR42 research aircraft, from which simultaneous measurements can be carried out using other instruments, when required. Following initial laboratory qualifications, two airborne campaigns involving nine flights were performed in 2014 and 2015 in the Southwest of France, over various types of land cover, including agricultural fields and forests. Some of these flights were made concurrently with in situ ground truth campaigns. Various preliminary applications for the characterisation of agricultural and forest areas are presented. Initial analysis of the data shows that the performance of the GLORI instrument is well within specifications, with a cross-polarization isolation better than −15 dB at all elevations above 45°, a relative polarimetric calibration accuracy better than 0.5 dB, and an apparent reflectivity sensitivity better than −30 dB, thus demonstrating its strong potential for the retrieval of land surface characteristics.

More than 15 hours or raw data was gathered during 5 flights that spanned over a 3-week period. The aircraft flew over several areas if interest including: 1) agricultural plots with coincident in-situ measurements of soil moisture, vegetation biomass and roughness, 2) in situ monitored forest plots with a wide range of above ground biomass values and 3) inland water bodies in order to test phase altimetry retrievals. Apparent reflectivity was computed from the data, showing a good dynamics above various types of terrains. Phase altimetry was performed over calm water, showing a precision in the range of the centimeter level.
