Deriving soil moisture with the combined L-band radar and radiometer measurements

In this study, we develop a combined active/passive technique to estimate surface soil moisture with the focus on the short vegetated surfaces. We first simulated a database for both active and passive signals under SMAP's sensor configurations using the radiative transfer model with a wide ran...
