Título: | Spatial Correlations in SMOS Antenna: The Role of Effective Point Spread Functions |
Autor: | Martínez, Justino CSIC ORCID ; Turiel, Antonio CSIC ORCID ; González Gambau, Verónica ; Olmedo, Estrella CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | ago-2016 | Editor: | Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers | Citación: | IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing 54(8): 4906-4916 (2016) | Resumen: | Since its launch in 2009, the European Space Agency mission Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) has provided valuable information on soil moisture, sea surface salinity data, and other geophysical variables. Due to its innovative instrument, an L-band 2-D synthetic aperture interferometric radiometer, SMOS is able to provide high-resolution L2 data (as compared with other L-band missions). However, SMOS processing is complex, giving rise to the emergence of some unexpected biases. In this paper, we have analyzed the spatial structure of two-point correlations owing to the SMOS synthetic antenna, finding that they are not negligible. Those correlations can be characterized by means of effective point spread functions (PSFs). This paper indicates that the SMOS PSF matrix can be computed in a fast way from measured data without the need for any model or auxiliary data. Furthermore, this matrix can be described in terms of a convolution kernel. The knowledge of that convolution kernel can be used to improve the quality of the SMOS image and to assess the effect of changes of processing procedures, including calibration methods | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1109/TGRS.2016.2552647 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/139277 | DOI: | 10.1109/TGRS.2016.2552647 | Identificadores: | issn: 0196-2892 |
