Principle and development of new microwave radiometer to obvserve ocean

Full polarization interferometric radiometer, which can image from interferometric synthetic aperture and get full polarization information, is the new type of microwave radiometer that can measure various physical information of ocean with high resolution and low consumption. By introducing the development of full polarization and synthetic aperture respectively, we expound on the necessity and principle of full polarization and synthetic aperture to aquire ocean information. Taking the advantages and disadvantages of WindSat and MIRAS as an example, we have discussed the advantages of multi-functional microwave radiometer and multi-load microwave sensors satellite to observe ocean. Moreover, to develop our satellite observation of ocean salinity, the necessity and the difficulity of collaborations of full polarization interferometric radiometer are pointed out for the application of multiple microwave remote sensing.
