Abstract:
A new ultra-wide P/L-band radiometer instrument has been developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for polar ocean salinity and seasonal sea-ice thickness measurements. The Arctic field campaign performed with the instrument deployed on the US Coast Guard Cutter Healy from September 13, 2018 to October 20, 2018. A new calibration strategy is developed for the ultra-wide band instrument to minimize the mismatch related effects. A noise-wave model is built to analyze and validate the instrument behavior for the calibration. The calibration strategy is analyzed using the results from the cruise campaign. Sea-ice thickness and sea surface salinity are presented in two other companion papers.
