However, the low-frequency channels of microwave imagers are easily interfered with by active radio signals with similar frequencies. Radio frequency interference (RFI) signals are widely distributed because of the lack of frequency protection, which seriously hinders the application of microwave imager data in data assimilation and retrieval research. In this paper, a new data restoration method is proposed based on principal component analysis (PCA). Both the ideal and real reconstruction experiments show that the new method can effectively repair abnormal observations interfered by RFI compared with the commonly used Cressman interpolation method because observation information over the whole selected domain is used for restoration in the new method, whereas Cressman interpolation uses only a selection of data around the target observation. The observation errors in the data with RFI can be reduced by one order of magnitude by means of the new method and little artificial information is introduced. One-week restoration validation also proves that the new method has a stable accuracy and broad application prospects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11242917","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,5]],"date-time":"2019-12-05T11:16:31Z","timestamp":1575544591000},"page":"2917","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["A New Restoration Method for Radio Frequency Interference Effects on AMSR-2 over North America"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Wangbin","family":"Shen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Data Assimilation for Research and Application, Nanjing University of Information Science &amp; Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Zhengkun","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center of Data Assimilation for Research and Application, Nanjing University of Information Science &amp; Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"},{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center on Forecast and Evaluation of Meteorological Disasters, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1376-3106","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhaohui","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center on Forecast and Evaluation of Meteorological Disasters, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"},{"name":"International Center for Climate and Environment Sciences, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100029, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.1038\/nature14956","article-title":"The quiet revolution of numerical weather prediction","volume":"525","author":"Bauer","year":"2015","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2347","DOI":"10.1109\/TGRS.2004.836867","article-title":"The WindSat spaceborne polarimetric microwave radiometer: Sensor description and early orbit performance","volume":"42","author":"Gaiser","year":"2004","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
