Water Cycle Observation Mission (WCOM) is an earth science mission proposed and focused on the research of water cycle under global change. With its three dedicated designed main payloads, WCOM can achieve synchronized observation on a group of global water cycle key parameters, including soil moisture, ocean salinity, snow water equivalent, soil freeze-thaw, atmospheric water vapor, precipitation...
Sea surface salinity as an ocean variable plays an important role in various components of the water and energy cycle. Recently a Chinese space mission using a new concept of Microwave Imager Combined Active and Passive (MICAP) at L-band is proposed for the ocean salinity measurement. MICAP uses interferometric techniques for both the radiometer and the scatterometer, which adopt two kinds of linear...
