The Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer (CIMR): Radio Frequency Interference Mitigation

The Copernicus programme [1] is a European system for monitoring the Earth in support of European policy as developed by the European Commission (COM). It includes Earth Observation (EO) satellites (notably the Sentinel series developed by the European Space Agency (ESA)) that form part of the Copernicus Space Component (CSC). The Copernicus Imaging Microwave Radiometer (CIMR) mission [2] is one of six Copernicus Expansion (CopEx) Missions [3] that address emerging and urgent needs for new types of global coverage observations with a particular focus on monitoring Polar regions.
