Delay-Doppler maps (DDMs) acquired by the TechDemosat-1 (TDS-1) GNSS-R satellite mission suffer from distortions that are highly correlated to on-board specular point estimation inaccuracies. Such distortions may affect wind retrievals, especially when multilook approaches aiming at exploiting the ambiguity-free area of the DDM are applied. This article demonstrates: that CYGNSS DDMs are also affected by such distortions; the rationale of DDM shape asymmetries induced by specular point location inaccuracies; and a simple strategy for reducing such induced distortions. Two different datasets have been used, consisting of both regular and raw intermediate frequency CYGNSS measurements. The results show that, similar to TDS-1, the CYGNSS DDM distortions are correlated to specular point location inaccuracies. Furthermore, such inaccuracies are significantly reduced if more accurate specular point related parameters are used to recompress the raw GNSS-R echo, highlighting some sampling issues that are common to both TDS-1 and CYGNSS missions. These results suggest that multilook wind retrieval approaches aiming at exploiting also the peripheral parts of the DDM may be seriously compromised by such distortions. The latter may be substantially reduced by oversampling the outcoming DDM and by a posteriori choosing the proper DDM subsample. For future upcoming GNSS-R missions, it is strongly recommended to store the raw data for eventual reprocessing in case of miscalibration or processing issues such as those shown in this articleThe work in this article has been carried out in the context of the European Agency for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites Fellowship Project GOODIE: GNSS-R Observation Operator Development and Impact EvaluationWith the funding support of the ‘Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence’ accreditation (CEX2019-000928-S), of the Spanish Research Agency (AEI)Institute of Electrical and Electronics EngineersAgencia Estatal de Investigación (España)Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]2020202020202020info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://hdl.handle.net/10261/207640reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
