resumen

Passive microwave remote sensing is an important method for observing the sea ice concentration (SIC). The ASI (ARTIST Sea Ice algorithm) can obtain the highest spatial resolution of 6.25 km2 in the current SIC products by using the dual-polarized brightness temperature of AMSR-E at 89 GHz. However, additional auxiliary low-frequency band data are still needed for weather filter. In this work, a new SIC retrieving algorithm based on single-frequency multi-incident angle brightness temperature data has been proposed and studied, which can be applied on an 89 GHz synthetic aperture radiometer. Fully utilizing the multi-incident angle brightness temperature with a synthetic aperture radiometer can separate the information of sea ice and seawater, improve the precision of SIC retrieving, and achieve high spatial resolution. The first step involves creating a simulation system for space-borne observation of sea–ice radiant brightness temperature and using the measured data of the 89 GHz channel from the FY-3C/MWHS to carry out the sensitivity analysis between brightness temperature and angle at 89 GHz. The second step consists of developing an SIC retrieving algorithm based on the angle brightness temperature difference at 89 GHz and completing the preliminary retrieving verification by combining the SIC product of ECMWF and the brightness temperature simulation system. The results show that the SIC retrieval can be realized by using the incident angle brightness temperature difference. Moreover, the minimum root mean square weighted average post-processing by using the combination of multi-incidence angle can minimize the retrieving error of SIC. When the input Gaussian white noise is 2 K, 5% SIC error can be obtained. The final results show that the SIC retrieval with the combination of multi-incidence angle can fully expand the distinction between sea water and sea ice.
