Abstract
This study quantifies the effects of Sun reflection over land surfaces on radiometric measurements at L‐band. The impact of the reflected Sun on radiometric measurements over a grass field and over an agricultural area reached 25 K and 17 K respectively. A model that predicts the impact of Sun reflection over land is developed and tested for two different radiometer configurations and spatial resolutions.Keywords
