Soil moisture initialization for climate prediction: Assimilation of scanning multifrequency microwave radiometer soil moisture data into a land surface model
[1] Climate model prediction skill is currently limited in response to poor land surface soil moisture state initialization. However, initial soil moisture state prediction skill can potentially be enhanced by the assimilation of remotely sensed near-surface soil moisture data in off-line simulation. This study is one of the first to evaluate such potential using actual remote sensing data toge...
متن کاملEstimation of Radar Backscattering Coefficient of Soil Surface with Moisture Content at Microwave Frequencies
Co-plarized of radar backscattering coefficient 0 hh σ and 0 vv σ are estimated for soil surface using a standard theortical model IEM (Integrtion Eequation Model). The surface parameters for model are , dielectric constant and roughness, are determined by experimental technique. The real and imaginary parts ( ε' and ε") of dielectric constant of soil determine by wave guide cell method at a si...
متن کاملA parameterized surface reflectivity model and estimation of bare-surface soil moisture with L-band radiometer
Soil moisture is an important parameter for hydrological and climatic investigations. Future satellite missions with L-band passive microwave radiometers will significantly increase the capability of monitoring earth’s soil moisture globally. Understanding the effects of surface roughness on microwave emission and developing quantitative bare-surface soil moisture retrieval algorithms is one of...
متن کاملNon-linearity of Soil Dielectric Constant as a Function of Radar Frequency and Soil Moisture Content
Soil is a mixture of four components: air, free water, bound water and soil particles. The microwave dielectric constant of soil is strongly dependent on the soil moisture content. The dielectric constant is a measure of the response of a material to an applied electric field, such as an electromagnetic wave. It has a real and an imaginary component. Soil particles’ dielectric constant depends ...
متن کاملSoil Moisture Content
The assessment of soil moisture content and surface roughness from remotely sensed data is of primary importance for improving agricultural techniques of conservation farming such as yield forecasts, scheduling irrigations, fertilization. SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) remotely sensed data may provide a powerful tool for indirectly retrieving these agricultural surface parameters over large are...
