Abstract

In this paper the structure and operational features of C-band, multi-polarization, combined scatterometer-radiometer system and the results of preliminary, spatio-temporally collocated measurements of bare soil and land snow cover microwave reflective (radar backscattering coefficient) and emissive (brightness temperature) characteristics angular dependences at ~5.6GHz are presented.
