Dielectric Model Uncertainty THOMAS MEISSNER
Ellison Meissner Wentz 2012. SST from 0 C to 30 C in steps of 1 C. SSS from 30 psu to 38 psu in steps of 0.5 psu. TB surface = Emissivity SST (Kelvin). Earth Incidence Angle = 55 . Freq [GHz] Freq [GHz] 1.4 7.0 10.7 18.7 37.0 89.0 Bias v Bias v- -pol [K] 1.05 1.13 1.26 1.61 2.57 4.52 pol [K] Bias h Bias h- -pol [K] 0.54 0.63 0.72 0.98 1.78 4.20 pol [K] SDEV v SDEV v- -pol [K] 0.11 0.16 0.24 0.48 0.87 1.11 pol [K] SDEV h SDEV h- -pol [K] 0.07 0.09 0.15 0.32 0.70 1.42 pol [K] Remove biases (systematic differences). Part of ocean target calibration: <TB (satellite)> = <TB (ocean)> <TB (satellite)> = <TB (ocean)>. Focus on standard deviations.
Error bar in emissivity = RMS difference between blue and red-dashed curves.
Error bar in Re()/Im() = RMS difference between blue and red-dashed curves. Same method can be used to determine error bars in Debye parameters: S, 1, , 1, 2,
