Published purpose

SMOS and SMAP missions have shown the unprecedented capability of L-Band radiometry to monitor central variables related to the energy, water and carbon cycles. However, despite the unique capacity of L-Band radiometry, no missions are planned to continue L-band observations. A team of twelve scientists, are proposing a new L-band radiometry mission (FRESCH). They propose to improve approaches using L-Band radiometry in Canadian northern regions using drone and ground-based L-Band radiometers. The work will be crucial to the preparison of the FRESCH proposal and will ensure that the Canadian community will be well placed to participate into the scientic studies of FRESCH.
