Characterizing Systematic Errors In The Faraday Rotation Retrieval From Smos Measurements

In this work, a methodology to correct the Faraday Rotation Angle (FRA) is presented. It consists of calculating a systematic error pattern introduced by MIRAS, which is calculated in zones where the FRA tends to zero. Once calculated, this error is subtracted in the rest of the measurements. In both cases, the FRA is calculated following a process of minimization of the equation that relates the SMOS full polarization radiometric measurements to that parameter.
