RETRIEVING SURFACE SOIL MOISTURE FROM MODIS AND AMSR-E DATA: A CASE STUDY IN TAIWAN [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2012 Soil moisture is a key factor that controls the exchange of water between land surface evaporation and plant transpiration. Information on surface soil moisture variations in both time and spatial domains is important for numerous applications ...

Downscaling of AMSR-E Soil Moisture over North China Using Random Forest Regression
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2022 Satellite retrieval can offer global soil moisture information, such as Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) data. AMSR-E has been used to provide soil moisture all over the world, with a coarse resolution of 25 km × 25 ...

Estimate of Hurricane Wind Speed from AMSR-E Low-Frequency Channel Brightness Temperature Data
Atmosphere, 2018 Two new parameters (W6H and W6V) were defined that represent brightness temperature increments for different low-frequency channels due to ocean wind. We developed a new wind speed retrieval model inside hurricanes based on W6H and W6V using brightness ...
