Soil moisture retrieval from AMSR-E
The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) on the Earth Observing System
(EOS) Aqua satellite was launched on May 4, 2002. The AMSR-E instrument provides a
potentially improved soil moisture sensing capability over previous spaceborne radiometers
such as the Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer and Special Sensor
Microwave/Imager due to its combination of low frequency and higher spatial resolution
(approximately 60 km at 6.9 GHz). The AMSR-E soil moisture retrieval approach and its …

Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of dense agricultural crop
conditions on soil moisture retrieval using passive microwave remote sensing. Aircraft
observations were collected using a new version of the Polarimetric Scanning Radiometer
(PSR) that provided C band and X band channels. Observations were also available from
the Aqua satellite Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR-E) at the same
frequencies. Soil Moisture Experiments 2002 (SMEX02) was conducted over a three-week …
