Refining the Methodology to Correct the Faraday Rotation Angle from SMOS Measurements

In this work, a refined methodology to correct the Faraday Rotation angle (FRA) for the SMOS mission is proposed. The method is based on calculating the FRA using the SMOS full-pol radiometric data to obtain VTEC maps applying spatiotemporal filtering techniques, to then making possible the compensation of the FRA effect. By this way, the FRA would be corrected from the data that is measuring the satellite and not using an external database.
