The Influence of Surface Sediment Presence on Observed Passive Microwave Brightness Temperatures of First-Year Sea Ice during the Summer Melt Period
Knowledge on the influence of sea ice sediment on passive microwave brightness temperatures (TB) is currently limited, leading to potential inaccuracies in derived sea ice concentrations where this ice exists. We propose that sediment may influence TB in two ways: (i) by altering the surface dielect...
