Title
Experimental validation of the Corbella's visibility function using HUT-2D and MIRAS
Abstract
The Corbella's revision of the fundamental equation of the interferometric aperture synthesis radiometry is verified using airborne and spaceborne data. This experimental verification uses the measurements of the airborne instrument HUT-2D from the Aalto University (Helsinki), and the unique spaceborne microwave imaging radiometer by aperture synthesis (MIRAS) from the ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission. The data acquired with those sensors support the Corbella's revision of the visibility function. The revised function predicts that visibilities depend on the contrast between the target's brightness temperature and the backward noise of the receivers emitted through the antennas.
