Passive microwave remote sensing of soil moisture

International Journal of Remote Sensing, 1985
Abstract Results of radiometric measurements over bare soil obtained with a horizontally polarized microwave radiometer at 19·1  GHz frequency are presented. Radiometer measurements were made with incidence angles varying from 10 to 50°. Ground-truth acquisition of soil moisture in the 0–1  cm layer and of soil temperature near the surface was made ...

Passive microwave remote sensing of soil moisture

Journal of Hydrology, 1996
Microwave remote sensing provides a unique capability for direct observation of soil moisture. Remote measurements from space afford the possibility of obtaining frequent, global sampling of soil moisture over a large fraction of the Earth's land surface.

Passive microwave remote sensing for security applications

2007 European Radar Conference, 2007
The security of persons or sensitive infrastructures is of increasing importance. Passive microwave remote sensing allows a daytime-independent non-destructive observation and examination of the objects of interest without artificial exposure under nearly all weather conditions.

Passive microwave remote sensing of vegetation biomass

Proceedings of IGARSS '94 - 1994 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2002
Experimental and theoretical investigations carried out over the past years at CNR in Florence and by other scientists worldwide, have pointed out that microwave emission is sensitive to vegetation biomass. The potential of microwave radiometry in the detection of vegetation biomass on different spatial scales has been further investigated by analyzing

Passive remote sensing at microwave wavelengths

Proceedings of the IEEE, 1969
Passive remote sensing at microwave frequencies has applications which range from meteorology to oceanography and geology. The meteorological applications are the most fully developed and include measurements of the temperature profile of the atmosphere and of the atmospheric distribution of H 2 O and O 3 .

Passive Microwave Remote Sensing Contribution to Hydrological Variables

Surveys in Geophysics, 1991
Physical principles governing passive microwave remote sensing of hydrological variables are outlined and illustrated by actual observations by ground-based, air-borne and space-borne microwave radiometers operating at different frequencies. Specific hydrological variables addressed in this paper are soil moisture, seasonal inundation of rivers and ...
