Interannual Variation of the Surface Temperature of Tropical Forests from Satellite Observations
Advances in Meteorology, 2016 Land surface temperatures (LSTs) within tropical forests contribute to climate variations. However, observational data are very limited in such regions. This study used passive microwave remote sensing data from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I)

An Effective Emission Depth Model for Passive Microwave Remote Sensing
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2016 Knowing the exact penetration depth for passive microwave will enable us to gain a better understanding of the characteristics of the targets. But now, there is only a penetration depth model that can calculate the specific depth while it is suitable for active microwaves.
