Arctic Sea Ice Monitored at L-Band: Initial Results and RFI Findings

As part of a validation of the SMOS sea ice thickness product, the DTU Space built L-band radiometer, EMIRAD-L (formerly EMIRAD 2), was participating in the MOSAiC campaign. Situated on P-deck of the German research vessel Polarstern and overlooking the sea or ice from the port side it recorded L-band radiometric data throughout the campaign. This paper briefly describes the installation, and provides some processing results as well as initial RFI findings.
