EASE-Grid 18V Brightness Temperature Time Series


The following table contains 18V TBs, before and after Jezek corrections. Columns are Warm Passes, Cold Passes, and differences (Warm-Cold). Uncorrected SMMR TBs were plotted in grey first, and then Jezek-corrected TBs were plotted in green afterwards. I didn't extract 18/19 GHz TBs for ocean, tibet or sahara sites.

The Jezek correction for 18V is

corrected_TB = 0.870 * TB + 21.90
