This study addresses the improvement of spatial resolution in microwave radiometer measurements by comparing the accuracy of a gradient-like antenna pattern deconvolution method with its accelerated versions. The analysis shows that accelerated methods perform better when dealing with spot-like discontinuities, while showing similar performance to the canonical gradient method for large discontinuities. These techniques are crucial for research on global warming and climate change, providing reliable long time series of remotely sensed Earth data for identifying and studying climate trends.
In this study, the enhancement of the spatial resolution of microwave radiometer measurements is addressed by contrasting the accuracy of a gradient-like antenna pattern deconvolution method with its accelerated versions. The latter are methods that allow reaching a given accuracy with a reduced number of iterations. The analysis points out that accelerated methods result in improved performance when dealing with spot-like discontinuities; while they perform in a similar way to the canonical gradient method in case of large discontinuities. A key application of such techniques is the research on global warming and climate change, which has recently gained critical importance in many scientific fields, mainly due to the huge societal and economic impact of such topics over the entire planet. In this context, the availability of reliable long time series of remotely sensed Earth data is of paramount importance to identify and study climate trends. Such data can be obtained by large-scale sensors, with the obvious drawback of a poor spatial resolution that strongly limits their applicability in regional studies. Iterative gradient techniques allow obtaining super-resolution gridded passive microwave products that can be used in long time series of consistently calibrated brightness temperature maps in support of climate studies.
