Trabajo final presentado por Ferran Hernández Macià para el grado de Física por la Universitat de Barcelona (UB), realizado bajo la dirección de la Dra. Carolina Gabarró del Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) y el Dr. Joan Bech de la Universitat de Barcelona (UB).-- 5 pages, 3 figures In the present work, the data obtained with an L-band radiometer (ARIEL) during the MOSAiC Expedition is analysed. The acquired brightness temperatures are compared with a multilayered sea ice emissivity model, the so-called Burke model combined with a sea ice permittivity model. The in situ data is validated by obtaining great agreement with the model, therefore being the first step towards an improvement of the present satellite sea ice thickness retrievals Peer reviewed
