| Geophysical model functions (GMFs) of the ocean microwave radiation dependence on wind speed at the frequencies of K and Ka range for an incidence angle of 55° are derived using the measurements of the satellite microwave radiometer Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) over open Arctic ocean at the sea surface temperatures (SST), not exceeding 10 °C. To estimate ocean radiation coefficients, surface microwave radiation was calculated using physical modeling of the ocean – atmosphere system brightness temperature. The simulation results made it possible to estimate surface radiation at 18.7, 23.8 and 36.5 GHz on the vertical and horizontal polarization with known atmospheric parameters, based on the ERA-Interim reanalysis data. These estimates... |
