The annual accumulation and the physical properties of snow close to the surface on the
Antarctic Plateau are characterized by a large decameter‐scale variability resulting from …

L-band radiometer measurements collected over the Dome~ C area from 2010 to 2015
indicated that the brightness temperature (TB) was relatively stable at vertical (V) …

We investigate physical effects influencing 0.5-2 GHz brightness temperatures of layered
polar firn to support the Ultra Wide Band Software Defined Radiometer (UWBRAD) …

Aquarius was launched in June 2011 to monitor the global salinity field in the open ocean.
This radiometer/scatterometer (ie, passive/active) instrument is part of the Aquarius/SAC-D …

Internal temperature is an essential parameter for understanding ice sheet dynamics.
Glaciological models provide estimations of temperature profiles over Antarctica and few …

Melt occurrence in Antarctica is derived from L-band observations from the Soil Moisture and
Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite between the austral summer 2010–2011 and 2017–2018 …

The tau-omega model is expanded to properly simulate L-band microwave emission of the
soil–snow–vegetation continuum through a closed-form solution of Maxwell's equations …

Recent interest by the research community in investigating Antarctica at low microwave
frequency is stimulated by the availability of new satellite-borne radiometers. Special …

Aquarius is a combination active/passive instrument at L band designed to map sea surface
salinity globally from space. The radiometer (passive) is the primary instrument for retrieving …

The SMOS brightness temperature (TB) collected on the East Antarctic Plateau revealed
spatial signatures at L-band that have never before been observed when only higher …
