Integration of passive and active microwave data from SMAP, AMSR2 and Sentinel-1 for Soil Moisture monitoring

摘要

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 active (e.g. Sentinel-1, C band) and passive sensors (e.g. AMSR2, from C to Ka bands).
