Identification of Spaceborne Microwave Radiometer Calibration Sites for Satellite Missions
The first dedicated soil moisture satellite mission will be the European Space Agency's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission. This satellite, scheduled for launch in the second half of 2009, has a new type of satellite design that is based on the radio-astronomy technique of simulating a large antenna from a number of smaller ones placed some distance apart. Because of its unique des...
متن کاملFirst Results from Taklamagan Desert Campaign for Smos Cal/val
Chinese academy of sciences) SMOS is a satellite dedicated to measuring soil moisture(SM) and sea surface salinity (SSS) continuously at a resolution around 50km from space for the first time in the history. It is also the first spaceborne mission that carries a synthetic aperture radiometer at L band. CAL/VAL is a big challenge to this kind of mission considering its frequency, resolution scal...
متن کاملThe AACES field experiments: SMOS calibration and validation across the Murrumbidgee River catchment
Following the launch of the European Space Agency’s Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission on 2 November 2009, SMOS soil moisture products need to be rigorously validated at the satellite’s approximately 45 km scale and disaggregation techniques for producing maps with finer resolutions tested. The Australian Airborne Cal/val Experiments for SMOS (AACES) provide the basis for one of th...
متن کاملDisaggregation as a top-down approach for evaluating 40 km resolution SMOS data using point-scale measurements: Application to AACES-1
The SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) satellite provides soil moisture data at about 40 km resolution globally. Validation of SMOS data using in situ measurements is complicated due to the large integrated scale of remote sensing observations. Nevertheless, different approaches can be used to circumvent the direct comparison. One is to upscale ground measurements using aggregation rules. ...
متن کاملComparison of Single- site and Multi-site Based Calibrations of SWAT in Taleghan Watershed, Iran
Calibration of model is critical for hydrologic modeling of large watersheds in a mountain watershed. In this study Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) used to comparison a single-site calibration procedure that employed streamflow measurement at outlet of watershed to a multi-site calibration method that used streamflow measurements at three stations (Galinak, Joestan and Dehdar). Results sh...
