Overview

The SMOS payload Microwave Imaging Radiometer using Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS) measures the brightness temperatures at 1.4 GHz in full polarization with incidence angles ranging from 0° to 65°. The sea ice thickness is derived from the near nadir brightness temperatures (L3B brightness temperature) using a single layer emissivity model.
