This study addresses the spatial resolution enhancement of synthetic microwave radiometer observations as obtained by the forthcoming Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer (CIMR). An antenna pattern deconvolution scheme is used to exploit the actual L-band CIMR antenna pattern together with a regularization scheme to reconstruct the brightness field at enhanced spatial resolution. Simulation results, referred to synthetic and realistic reference brightness fields, demonstrate the soundness of the proposed scheme that provides brightness fields reconstructed at a spatial resolution up to 1.5 times finer than the measured field.

Abstract
This study addresses the spatial resolution enhancement of synthetic microwave radiometer observations as obtained by the forthcoming Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer (CIMR). An antenna pattern deconvolution scheme is used to exploit the actual L-band CIMR antenna pattern together with a regularization scheme to reconstruct the brightness field at enhanced spatial resolution. Simulation results, referred to synthetic and realistic reference brightness fields, demonstrate the soundness of the proposed scheme that provides brightness fields reconstructed at a spatial resolution up to 1.5 times finer than the measured field.File in questo prodotto:
