For the EPS-SG SCA instrument, the successor of MetOp ASCAT, the inclusion of a VH polarisation channel on the mid-beam antenna is currently being considered. The two main goals of the proposed study are (i) to evaluate the potential use of the cross-polarisation channel for improving soil moisture retrievals based on VV-polarised data only, and (ii) to propose a preliminary algorithm that exploits this potential.
