March sea ice thickness and snow depth from CryoSat-2 and SMOS from 2011 to 2019
Both sea ice thickness and snow depth are retrieved simultaneously by using sea ice freeboard from CS2 and L-band (1.4 GHz) Tbs from Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite. The active period of these two satellites both start from 2010 to the present. Specifically, this algorithm combines...

Both sea ice thickness and snow depth are retrieved simultaneously by using sea ice freeboard from CS2 and L-band (1.4 GHz) Tbs from Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite. The active period of these two satellites both start from 2010 to the present. Specifically, this algorithm combines hydrostatic equilibrium model and improved L-band radiation model. Sea ice freeboard is calculated to sea ice thickness based on hydrostatic equilibrium, which is widely used in sea ice altimeter retrieval. Tbs from SMOS can be used to retrieve thin sea ice thickness and snow depth over thick ice. Here, L-band radiation model is further improved by adding vertical structure of temperature and salinity in sea ice and snow. In order to obtain the missing measurements resulting from limited upper latitude in SMOS satellite, Data synergy of CryoSat-2-derived sea ice freeboard and SMOS L-band Tbs allows for simultaneous retrieval of sea ice thickness and snow depth. By combining the two observational datasets, the uncertainty in both sea ice thickness and snow depth can be reduced. L-band Tbs from the inclination angle from 0◦ to 40◦ and from 85◦N to 87.5◦N is approximated using Tb of all frequencies in AMSR-E and AMSR2 through a back propagation machine learning process.
