Emissivity Measurements of Foam-Covered Water Surface at L-Band for Low Water Temperatures

Emissivity Measurements of Foam-Covered Water Surface at L-Band for Low Water Temperatures

For a foam-covered sea surface, it is difficult to retrieve sea surface salinity (SSS) with L-band brightness temperature (1.4 GHz) because of the effect of a foam layer with wind speeds stronger than 7 m/s, especially at low sea surface temperature (SST). With foam-controlled experiments, emissivit...
