On the joint use of QSCAT and QRAD over the Arctic and Antarctic oceans

On an individual orbit basis, QSCAT data does not permit an efficient separation of sea ice from open water. It is shown how the use of the simultaneous H-pol temperatures provided by the radiometer-like processing of the data, QRAD, improves the sorting of sea ice areas from open ocean zones.
