WindSat, an experimental sensor on the Coriolis mission launched in January 2003, is intended to measure the partially polarized emission from the ocean surface, and thereby indirectly measure the… (More)
A technique for deriving ice temperature in the Arctic seasonal sea ice zone from passive microwave radiances has been developed. The algorithm operates on brightness temperatures derived from the… (More)
