CORALYNN-17 (pLMR)

Polarimetric L-Band Multibeam Radiometer

experiment Overview 

The PLMR is a compact L-band (1400-1426 MHz) imaging radiometer that generates push-broom images of scene brightness temperature in vertical and horizontal polarization from six beams. It has been used to extract ocean surface salinity and top 5cm soil moisture from the measured brightness temperature data..
