Abstract

The paper presents a model of microwave emission from mouth regions of Arctic rivers taking into account radiometer pixel contamination by land. Modeling of seasonal and interannual dynamics of brightness temperature of different regions of the Yenisei Bay is performed on the example of MIRAS radiometer data from the SMOS satellite. The necessity of considering the coastal zone in brightness temperature modeling in the studied regions is shown. Comparison of the model calculations with SMOS L1C data has shown a good agreement. Analysis of model calculations and satellite data has allowed us to determine the location of the fresh and salt water mixing zone in the Yenisei Bay during the ice period, provided that the model takes into account the coastal zone captured by the radiometer pixel.
