In this paper, the results of radiothermal remote sensing of soil moisture and temperature is presented for a test site located in Arctic tundra on the Yamal Peninsula, the Russia Federation using full-polarimetry multi-angular brightness temperature (BT) observations at the frequency of 1.4 GHz. The BT data were obtained from the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite with the SMOS footprint...
Soil moisture is a key parameter in the land-atmosphere interactions over the Tibetan Plateau (TP), which plays an essential role in the Asian monsoon processes. Validation of satellite observed and/or modeled surface soil moisture is a particularly challenging work due to the scale issues. Additional challenge in this area is the harsh environment and heavy workload to establish a Soil Moisture and...
The SMAP (soil moisture active passive) which is one of the satellites that specifically designed for soil moisture monitoring, was launched on 31 January 2015. Recently, the SMAP radiometer soil moisture product has been released to the public. It is very urgent to evaluate the reliability of this product before it can be widely used in hydrometeorological studies. In the study, we carried out an...
Soil moisture is of fundamental importance to many hydrological, biological and biogeochemical processes, plays an important role in the development and evolution of convective weather and precipitation, and impacts water resource management, agriculture, and flood runoff prediction. The launch of NASA's Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) mission in 2015 promises to provide new passive global measurements...
