The Chinese second ocean dynamic environment satellite Haiyang‐2B (HY‐2B) was successfully launched on October 25, 2018, carrying a scanning microwave radiometer (SMR) to provide information about the ocean and atmosphere. For the first time, this study investigated the impact of radiance data from...
