Assessment of area favourable for crop sowing using AMSR-E derived Soil Moisture Index (AMSR-E SMI)
Abstract Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) soil moisture product was used to assess the progression of Area Favourable for Crop Sowing (AFCS) over Andhra Pradesh State of India during summer monsoon. The AMSR-E soil moisture data were normalized with respect to soil texture to calculate AMSR-E Soil Moisture Index (

Evaluation of the Surface Water Distribution in North-Central Namibia Based on MODIS and AMSR Series [PDF]
Semi-arid North-central Namibia has high potential for rice cultivation because large seasonal wetlands (oshana) form during the rainy season. Evaluating the distribution of surface water would reveal the area potentially suitable for rice cultivation ...
