TL;DR: The NASA Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission has utilized a set of core validation sites as the primary methodology in assessing the soil moisture retrieval algorithm performance as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Land Geophysical Parameters Retrieval Using the Interference Pattern GNSS-R Technique
Nereida Rodriguez-Alvarez,Adriano Camps,Mercè Vall-llossera,Xavier Bosch-Lluis,Alessandra Monerris,Isaac Ramos-Perez,Enric Valencia,J.F. Marchan-Hernandez,José Martínez-Fernández,G. Baroncini-Turricchia,C. Perez-Gutierrez,Nilda Sánchez +11 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a GNSS-R technique, based on Global Positioning System measurements, that allows the retrieval of several geophysical parameters from land surfaces, and presents the results obtained after applying the Interference Pattern Technique (IPT).
Journal ArticleDOI
The Soil Moisture Active Passive Experiments (SMAPEx): Toward Soil Moisture Retrieval From the SMAP Mission
Rocco Panciera,Jeffrey P. Walker,Thomas J. Jackson,Douglas A. Gray,Mihai A. Tanase,Dongryeol Ryu,Alessandra Monerris,Heath Yardley,Christoph Rudiger,Xiaoling Wu,Ying Gao,Jorg M. Hacker +11 more
TL;DR: The SMAPEx sampling strategy is described and an overview of the data collected during the three experiments are presented, providing SMAP-like data for testing of radiometer-only, radar-only and combined radiometers-radar soil moisture retrieval and downscaling algorithms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of Spaceborne and Modelled Surface Soil Moisture Products with Cosmic-Ray Neutron Probes
Carsten Montzka,Heye Bogena,Marek Zreda,Alessandra Monerris,Ross Morrison,Sekhar Muddu,Harry Vereecken +6 more
TL;DR: Evaluating differences and similarities between CRNP observations, and surface soil moisture products from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2), the METOP-A/B Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT), the Soil Moisture Active and Passive (SMAP), and simulations from the GLDAS2 found SMAP to provide a high accuracy soil moisture product with low noise or uncertainties as compared to CRNPs.
Journal ArticleDOI
The emissivity of foam-covered water surface at L-band: theoretical modeling and experimental results from the FROG 2003 field experiment
Adriano Camps,Mercè Vall-llossera,Ramon Villarino,Nicolas Reul,B. Chapron,Ignasi Corbella,Nuria Duffo,Francesc Torres,J. Miranda,Roberto Sabia,Alessandra Monerris,R. Rodriguez +11 more
TL;DR: This study presents a simplified two-layer emission model for foam-covered water and the results of a controlled experiment to measure the foam emissivity as a function of salinity, foam thickness, incidence angle, and polarization.
