| Content Summary | A simplified generalized radio frequency interference (RFI) detection method and principal component analysis (PCA) method are utilized to detect and attribute the sources of C-band RFI in AMSR2 L1 brightness temperature data over land during 1-16 July 2017. The results show that the consistency between the two methods provides confidence that RFI may be reliably detected using either of the methods, and the only difference is that the scope of the RFI-contaminated area identified by the former algorithm is larger in some areas than that using the latter method. Strong RFI signals at 6.925 GHz are mainly distributed in the United States, Japan, India, Brazil, and some parts of Europe; meanwhile, RFI signals at 7.3 GHz are mainly distributed in Latin America, Asia, Southern Europe, and Africa. However, no obvious 7.3 GHz RFI appears in the United States or India, indicating that the 7.3 GHz channels mitigate the effects of the C-band RFI in these regions. The RFI signals whose position does not vary with the Earth azimuth of the observations generally come from stable, continuous sources of active ground-based microwave radiation, while the RFI signals which are observed only in some directions on a kind of scanning orbit (ascending/descending) mostly arise from reflected geostationary satellite signals. | en |
