Abstract :
Microwave observations provide physically-based retrievals for several essential climate variables over the ocean. RFI over the ocean is rapidly increasing in area, and it can produce errors of several degrees in monthly average SST if no removal or mitigation is used. We examine the spatial and temporal patterns of RFI over the ocean for the AMSR-E sensor.
