IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2022 L-band microwave satellite missions provide soil moisture information potentially useful for streamflow and, hence, flood predictions. However, these observations are also sensitive to the presence of vegetation that makes satellite soil moisture ...

The Soil Moisture Active and Passive Mission (SMAP): Science and applications [PDF]
2009 IEEE Radar Conference, 2009 The Soil Moisture Active and Passive mission (SMAP) will provide global maps of soil moisture content and surface freeze/thaw state. Global measurements of these variables are critical for terrestrial water and carbon cycle applications. The SMAP observatory consists of two multipolarization L-band sensors, a radar and radiometer, that share a ...

Fostering applications opportunities for the NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) Mission [PDF]
2010 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2010 The NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) Mission will provide global observations of soil moisture and freeze/thaw state from space. We outline how priority applications contributed to the SMAP mission measurement requirements and how the SMAP mission plans to foster applications and applied science.
