Adjusted sea ice classification methodology to satellite altimeter data based on existing airborne altimeter methodologyEarlier the possibility of sea ice classification using Airborne Synthetic Aperture and Interferometric Radar Altimeter System (ASIRAS) was demonstrated. Significant differences between waveform shape parameters allowed to classify first-year-ice and multiyear ice as well as leads by applying a Bayesian based method. Further analyses are conducted to test how these results can be adapted to satellite borne altimeter systems. Programme: H2020-EU.2.1.6. - Topic(s): EO-1-2014 |

Gridded product of SMOS and SMAP TB (daily average; resolution 12-15 km) and uncertaintiesThe Microwave Imagine Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS) aboard ESA\'s SMOS satellite measures the Earth\'s surface brightness temperature (TB) at L-Band (frequency of 1.4 GHz). NASA\'s SMAP spacecraft carries a 1.2 GHz radar and a 1.4 GHz radiometer that share a single feedhorn and a mesh reflector. The synthetic aperture technique of SMOS allows to measure TB at a range of incidence angles while SMAP uses a conical scan geometry and a constant incidence angle at 40°. In order to generate a homogeneous SMOS/SMAP data product the SMOS TB will be interpolated to the SMAP incidence angle of 40°. SMOS and SMAP polarized TBs and their estimated uncertainties will be projected into a common grid, e.g. polar stereographic or EASE. Data products will be generated using standard NetCDF format.
