Sentinel-3 Microwave Radiometers: Instrument Description, Calibration and Geophysical Products Performances

Sentinel-3 Microwave Radiometers: Instrument Description, Calibration and Geophysical Products Performances

Copernicus Sentinel-3 Surface Topography Mission embarks a two-channel microwave radiometer combined with the altimeter in order to correct the altimeter range for the excess path delay resulting from the presence of water vapour in the troposphere. The in-flight calibration of a single instrument i...
