Estimating annual water storage variations in medium-scale (2000–10 000 km2) basins using microwave-based soil moisture retrievals [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2017 Due to their shallow vertical support, remotely sensed surface soil moisture retrievals are commonly regarded as being of limited value for water budget applications requiring the characterization of temporal variations in total terrestrial water storage

Passive microwave remote sensing for sea ice research [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1985 During the last decade, considerable progress has been made in the application of passive microwave remote sensing to the study of sea ice. With the December 1972 launch of the Nimbus 5 electrically scanning microwave radiometer (ESMR‐5), complete coverage of the polar regions provided the synoptic observations needed for undertaking a detailed study ...

CLASSIFICATION OF ACTIVE MICROWAVE AND PASSIVE OPTICAL DATA BASED ON BAYESIAN THEORY AND MRF [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2012 A classifier based on Bayesian theory and Markov random field (MRF) is presented to classify the active microwave and passive optical remote sensing data, which have demonstrated their respective advantages in inversion of surface soil moisture content.

Passive Microwave Remote Sensing of Snowpacks
PROCEEDINGS OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING, 1991 Both theory and experiment in passive microwave remote sensing of snow have been studied. Synchronizing the airborne experiments using Microwave Scanning Radiometer (MSR) with the passing days of Marine Observation Satellite 1 (MOS-1), ground truth data were obtained around Asahikawa of Hokkaido during February 1988.
