Abstract

This article is concerned with the apodization windows to be applied to brightness temperature maps reconstructed from complex visibilities provided by the MIRAS (Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis) instrument on board the SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity space mission) spacecraft in order to achieve a close to uniform pixel at the Earth´s surface level
