Thin Arctic sea ice in L-band observations and an ocean reanalysis

L-band radiance measurements of the Earth's surface such as those from the SMOS satellite can be used to retrieve the thickness of thin sea ice in the range 0–1 m under cold surface conditions. However, retrieval uncertainties can be large due to assumptions in the forward model, which conve...
