Retrieving sea surface salinity with multiangular L-band brightness temperatures: Improvement by spatiotemporal averaging
[1] The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission was selected in May 1999 by the European Space Agency to provide global and frequent soil moisture and sea surface salinity maps. SMOS’ single payload is Microwave Imaging Radiometer by Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS), an L band two-dimensional aperture synthesis interferometric radiometer with multiangular observation capabilities. Most geophy...
متن کاملRF interference analysis in aperture synthesis interferometric radiometers: application to L-band MIRAS instrument
Current spaceborne radiometers do not achieve the required spatial resolution demanded by the scientific community due to antenna-size technological limitations. In recent years, several space agencies have been studying aperture synthesis interferometric radiometers as a way of overcoming these limitations, which are more evident at low microwave frequencies (e.g., at L-band), where sea surfac...
