Polarimetric L-band Multibeam Radiometer Data


Home


Dataset desciption:
Daily calibrated full swath brightness temperatures, vertical and horizontal polarization for 6 different view angles Available for download are separate files for H and V polarization.

Calibration and processing status:
The data are provided already calibrated with the daily PLMR calibration (against warm and cold targets) and corrected for topographic effect on beam size and incidence angle.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Data are NOT corrected for variations in beam angle
- Data are NOT corrected for soil temperature change

Period:
16-May-05 to 27-May-05
