摘要
Once launched in late 2014, NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission will use a combination of a four-channel L-band radiometer and a three-channel L-band radar to provide high resolution global mapping of soil moisture and landscape freeze/thaw state every 2-3 days. These measurements are valuable to improved understanding of the Earth's water, energy, and carbon cycles, and to many applications of societal benefit. In order for soil moisture to be retrieved accurately from SMAP microwave data, prelaunch activities are concentrating on developing improved geophysical retrieval algorithms for each of the SMAP baseline products. The ComRAD truck-based SMAP simulator collected active/passive microwave time series data at the SMAP incident angle of 40 degrees over corn and soybeans during 2012 for use in refining SMAP retrieval algorithms.
