The Usage of Screen-Level Parameters and Microwave Brightness Temperature for Soil Moisture Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study focuses on testing two different soil moisture analysis systems based on screen-level parameters (2-m temperature T2m, 2-m relative humidity RH2m) and 1.4-GHz passive microwave brightness temperatures TB. First, ...
Using TRMM/TMI to Retrieve Surface Soil Moisture over the Southern United States from 1998 to 2002
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Passive microwave remote sensing has been recognized as a potential method for measuring soil moisture. Combined with field observations and hydrological modeling brightness temperatures can be used to infer soil moisture ...
Optimization of a Radiative Transfer Forward Operator for Simulating SMOS Brightness Temperatures over the Upper Mississippi Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite mission routinely provides global multiangular observations of brightness temperature TB at both horizontal and vertical polarization with a 3-day repeat period. The ...
