Book Passive Microwave Remote Sensing of Land Atmosphere Interactions

Download or read book Passive Microwave Remote Sensing of Land Atmosphere Interactions written by 0 Pampaloni and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in theory and observations using passive microwave remote sensing have hightlighted the potential of spaceborne sensors for contributing to the required land surface measurements of soils, vegetation, snow cover and precipitation. Furthermore, the spatial resolution of passive microwave observations matches the special scales of large-scale models of land-atmosphere interactions both for data assimilation and validation. In order to stimulate and focus this research a workshop, sponsored by ESA and NASA, was organized to review the state-of-the-art in microwave radiometry related to land applications and to exchange ideas leading into new directions for future research. This volume contains the refereed papers from the aforementioned ESA/NASA workshop, which are arranged by topic, as well as the (edited) working group reports.

Book Soil Moisture Vegetation and Surface Roughness Impacts on High Resolution L band Microwave Emissivity from Cropped Land During SMAPVEX12

Download or read book Soil Moisture Vegetation and Surface Roughness Impacts on High Resolution L band Microwave Emissivity from Cropped Land During SMAPVEX12 written by Brian Miller and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The SMAPVEX12 (Soil Moisture Active/Passive Validation Experiment 2012) was carried out over the summer of 2012 in Manitoba, Canada. The goal of the project was to improve the accuracy of satellite-based remote sensing of soil moisture. Data were gathered during a 42-day field campaign with surface measurements on 55 different agricultural fields in south-central Manitoba. The extended duration of the campaign, contrast in soil textures, and variety of crop types over the study region provided an excellent range of soil moisture and vegetation conditions. The study fields ranged from bare to fully vegetated, with volumetric soil moisture levels spanning a range of almost 50%. Remotely sensed data were collected on 17 days by aircraft at 1.4 Ghz with a microwave radiometer at two different resolutions. Observed brightness temperatures from the radiometer showed a typical inverse relationship to the near simultaneous soil moisture measurements from the field. Field-by-field relationships using all sampling dates with both soil and emissivity data were all shown to be significant with the exception of two of the pasture fields and a soybean field. Linear regressions across multiple fields and by flight lines also had statistically significant slopes. The significance of all these relationships improved with the removal of pasture fields from the analysis. On most fields, the sensitivity (slope) of the relationship and correlation coefficient (R2) between emissivity and observed soil moisture increased when vegetation and roughness effects were taken into account. The b parameter that relates vegetation water content to optical depth in the tau-omega model was optimized using the collective slope and R2 values of the individual fields. A b parameter value of 0.06 for horizontal polarization and 0.13 for vertical polarization were found to be optimal across the range of all fields in this analysis.

Book Advances in Geoscience and Remote Sensing

Download or read book Advances in Geoscience and Remote Sensing written by Gary Jedlovec and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2009-10-01 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remote sensing is the acquisition of information of an object or phenomenon, by the use of either recording or real-time sensing device(s), that is not in physical or intimate contact with the object (such as by way of aircraft, spacecraft, satellite, buoy, or ship). In practice, remote sensing is the stand-off collection through the use of a variety of devices for gathering information on a given object or area. Human existence is dependent on our ability to understand, utilize, manage and maintain the environment we live in - Geoscience is the science that seeks to achieve these goals. This book is a collection of contributions from world-class scientists, engineers and educators engaged in the fields of geoscience and remote sensing.
