Title: ASSIMILATION OF MICROWAVE BRIGHTNESS AT L-BAND TO ESTIMATE ROOT ZONE SOIL MOISTURE IN A GROWING SEASON OF CORN. Authors:
Accurate knowledge of root zone soil moisture (RZSM) is crucial in hydrology, micrometeorology, and agriculture for estimating energy and moisture fluxes at the land surface. Soil Vegetation Atmosphere Transfer (SVAT) models are typically used to simulate energy and moisture transport in soil and vegetation [1]. Coupled SVAT and vegetation models capture the biophysics of dynamic vegetation fai...
متن کاملA Change Detection Algorithm for Retrieving High-resolution Surface Soil Moisture from Smap L-band Radar and Radiometer Observations
Soil moisture is a critical hydrological variable that links the terrestrial water, energy and carbon cycles. Global and regional observations of soil moisture are needed to estimate the water and energy fluxes at the land surface, to quantify the net carbon flux in boreal landscapes, to enhance weather and climate forecast skill and to develop improved flood prediction and drought monitoring c...
متن کاملIntercomparison of Surface Roughness Parameterizations for Soil Moisture Retrieval
Soil moisture plays a key role in many hydrological and agricultural processes because it controls the water and heat energy exchange between the earth and the atmosphere. Addressing the need for routine global surface soil moisture maps, the European Space Agency (ESA) launched the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission in 2009. It provides L-band microwave brightness temperature obse...
متن کاملModelling and Validation of Combined Active and Passive Microwave Remote Sensing of Agricultural Vegetation at L-Band
The distorted Born approximation (DBA) of volume scattering was previously combined with the numerical solution of Maxwell equations (NMM3D) for rough surfaces to calculate radar backscattering coefficients for the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission. The model results were validated with the Soil Moisture Active Passive Validation Experiment 2012 (SMAPVEX12) data. In this paper we exte...
متن کاملScaling Properties of L-band Passive Microwave Soil Moisture: From SMOS to Paddock Scale
Remote sensing of soil moisture is a powerful and inexpensive way to map surface soil moisture for a range of applications, including weather prediction, water resources management and irrigation practices. Passive microwave sensors operating at L-band wavelength have shown the most potential for this task. However, this technology faces some major challenges, mostly related to correct interpre...
