Abstract: We consider the transport equation $pp{p}_{t}u(x,t)+H(t)cdotablau(x,t)=0$ in $OOOimes(0,T),$ where $T>0$ and $OOOsubset{R}^d$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary $pppOOO$. First, we prove a Carleman estimate for solutions of finite energy with piecewise continuous weight functions. Then, under a further condition which guarantees that the orbits of $H$ intersect $pppOOO$, we prove an energy estimate which in turn yields an observability inequality. Our results are motivated by applications to inverse problems.
