Physically-based active-passive modelling and retrieval for SMAP soil moisture inversion algorithm
2015 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2015The NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission is designed to produce high-resolution (9 km) global mapping of surface soil moisture based on L-band radar and radiometer measurements. The multi-scale measurements are combined using time-series of active passive microwave data to retrieve the statistical regression parameters (α, β) from ...

Galaxy Correction Upgrade in the Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) Microwave Radiometer Algorithm
IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018The SMAP mission was designed to measure soil moisture globally for quantifying the water and carbon cyclces. The Brightness Temperature (TB) measurement by the SMAP L-band radiometer over ocean is also used for Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) retrieval.

Frequency-Agile Radar Electronics for the Soil Moisture Active\/Passive (SMAP) Mission
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine, 2015The radar aboard the Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) instrument is an L-band scatterometer/synthetic aperture radar (SAR) with uniquely designed capabilities for global retrieval of surface soil moisture. Several key science requirements have shaped the radar architecture, including requirements on terrestrial radio frequency interference (RFI ...

End-to-end data flow on the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission
2012 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2012The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite mission will provide measurements of the soil moisture and freeze/thaw state over the Earth's land surface, significantly enhancing knowledge of the Earth's water, energy, and carbon cycles. Collecting, transmitting, processing, and archiving the complete set of science and engineering data will be a ...

2016 Progress in Electromagnetic Research Symposium (PIERS), 2016
The zeroth-order radiative transfer model, also known as the tau-omega model, has been used extensively for decades in passive remote sensing of soil moisture. One approach, commonly known as the Dual Channel Algorithm (DCA), to retrieve soil moisture from this model is to make use of the H- and V-polarized brightness temperature (T B ) channels ...

The Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) mission radar: A novel conically scanning SAR
2009 IEEE Radar Conference, 2009The Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) mission is a NASA mission identified by the NRC “decadal survey” to measure both soil moisture and freeze/thaw state from space. The mission will use both active radar and passive radiometer instruments at L-Band.

2016 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2016
In this work, an integration of microwave data coming from different sensors (SMAP, Sentinel-1, AMSR2) has been attempted, in order to obtain an improved estimation of hydrological parameters and in particular of the Soil Moisture (SMC). The failure of radar sensor in SMAP satellite induced to look for other available microwave frequencies, both from ...

Landscape freeze/thaw products from Soil Moisture Active/Passive (SMAP) radar and radiometer data
2016 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2016The NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission produced a daily landscape freeze/thaw product (L3_FT_A) at 3-km spatial resolution derived from ascending and descending orbits of SMAP high-resolution L-band (1.4 GHz) radar measurements. Following the loss of the SMAP radar in July 2015, coarser (36-km) footprint passive microwave retrievals from ...
