Summary
Abstract: The products Level 1C Ocean Full Polarization (SMOS.MIRAS.MIR_SCSF1C) and Level 1C Land Full Polarization (SMOS.MIRAS.MIR_SCLF1C) are multi-angular brightness temperatures at the top of the atmosphere, geolocated in an equal-area grid system (ISEA 4H9). Two different Level 1C products are generated according to the surface type: one containing mainly sea and the other mainly containing land pixels ... View entire text
