Abstract | A new payload concept has been proposed: the microwave imager combined activepassive (MICAP). MICAP is a combined one-dimensional microwave interferometric radiometer that operates at 1.4, 6.9, 18.7, and 23.8 GHz and L-band (1.26GHz) scatterometer. It has the capability to simultaneously remotely sense sea surface salinity (SSS), sea surface temperature (SST), and wind speed. MICAP will be a candidate payload onboard the Ocean Salinity Satellite led by the State Oceanic Administration of China to monitor SSS and reduce geophysical errors caused by surface roughness and SST. To provide an all-weather estimation of SSS with high accuracy from space, the errors of the simultaneous retrieval of multiparameters using MICAP are analyzed, and noise levels and stability requirements of instruments are estimated. Preliminary analysis shows that MICAP can provide SSS with an accuracy of 1psu for single measurement and 0.1psu over the global ocean for 200 200 km resolution pixels and one month at middle and low latitudes with default instrument noises (0.1 K, 0.3 K and 0.3 K for the L, C, and K band radiometers, respectively, and 0.1 dB for the L-band scatterometer) while uncertainties of the drift corrections are less than the radiometer sensitivities.
