Increasing temporal resolution in Greenland ablation estimation using passive and active microwave data
Abstract — Increasing the accuracy of melt estimation using microwave instruments by focusing on sub-day time scales is addressed. Three Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) instruments operating simultaneously over the summer of 2002 are combined to estimate brightness temperature (Tb) over dail...
