0317 outlier detection algorithm
for pol = 0 to 3 /* Stokes 1..4 */ for each measurement
if abs((Tbsmos[pol] – Tbmodel[pol]) – correction[pol]) > 5 * σTB then
outlier[pol, meas] = TRUE
wherecorrection = median (Tbmeas - Tbmodel)σTB = √ (σTB_radiometric_noise2 + σTBmodel2 )
Outliers & RFIOutlier detection in L2OSPP and its usefulness in RFI detection and correction – HENOCQ et al, SMOS L2OS technical note, 28/02/11
Some Tests close to Greenland
New algorithm more consistent and effective (below outliers=filled points)

With L2OSPP v3.17 With new algorithm
Refinements:- If no RFI, 3 sigma sorting may discard good measurements : Add a first step at gridpoint level for identifying the risk of outliers (see TN)
Future work:-use « up and down evolution » of (Btmeas–BTmodel) over a dwell to detect RFI

0318 new 2 step RFI outlier detection algorithm based on reducing outlier threshold if high probability of RFI detected
for pol = 0 to 3 /* Stokes 1..4 */ if std(TBmodel[pol] - TBsmos[pol]) > 1.2 * std_theory then
rfi_outlier_risk[pol] = TRUE
if rfi_outlier_risk[pol] then for each measurement
if abs(TBmodel[pol] - TBsmos[pol]) > 3 * rad_noise then rfi_outlier[pol, meas] = TRUE
wherestd_theory = √ ((TB_radiometric_noise2 + TBmodel2 ) / nMeas)factor of 1.2 is 99% confidence with 100 measurements (1 + 0.18)nsig is reduced from 5 (non-RFI outlier detection threshold) to 3

Other possible RFI detection approaches
Detecting RFI induced oscillations in dwell line TBs (eg using fft) – see TN from Claire, Jacqueline & Jean-Luc (oscillations seem higher in VV?):
Using L1c RFI flags?Using AUX_RFILST?CATDS use one month data in 5 degree bins per grid point...
