Abstract :
A technique tolerant to an inexactness of the antenna pattern form is developed for resampling microwave radiometer data on the base of robust principles of statistical estimation. Two types of algorithms are considered: a single-channel algorithm and an interchannel algorithm to resample low frequency channel data taking into account a higher frequency channel. The performance of the algorithms is demonstrated by results of DMSP SSM/I data processing
