ESA SMOS+ Cryosphere
The scope of SMOS+ Cryosphere project addresses the following questions:
- What is the scientifically sound explanation for the observed SMOS L-band Antarctic brightness temperature variations?
- How do the snow and ice layers within the Antarctic ice sheet/shelves interact with microwave emission at L-band to result in the observed SMOS L-band brightness temperatures?
- What new EO-based products can be derived from SMOS to support Cryosphere research over ice sheets/shelves?
- How may SMOS L-band observations contribute to existing observations to derive information of surface and sub-surface processes over ice sheets/shelves?What are the new science questions that SMOS can answer over ice sheets/shelves?
- Dauer: 2014-2016
