2006
2006 IEEE International Symposium on Geoscience and Remote Sensing
Preserved Fulltext
Mapping of sea surface salinity, based on L-band radiometric measurements, is presently investigated as a preparation for space missions. ...
Special concern is on correction for effects caused by the sea surface roughness, and this paper will address two campaigns, LOSAC and CoSMOS, with the aim of investigating these effects. ...
INTRODUCTION Sea surface salinity, SSS, remote sensing, especially by Lband radiometry, is presently an important issue as both ESA and NASA are preparing satellite missions for that purpose. ...
