SMOS Sea Ice Thickness Data Product Quality Control by Comparison with the Regional Sea Ice Extent
Brightness temperature data from wave Imaging Radiometer using Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS) on board the European Space Agency's (ESA) Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission have been used to derive the thickness of thin sea ice for the Arctic freeze-up period. To control the long-term g...
