Modeling of the L-band emission and scattering of soil layers with consideration of moisture and temperature gradients

The studies were designed to ensure correct inclusion of profiles into our model. These promising results will be followed by a validation stage. To do that, we have experimental data sets. We have moisture measurements (with the presence of gradients) and emissivities from the site of SMOSREX (nearly no temperature gradients). On the other hand, we have measurements of high temperature gradients, moisture, emissivity and bi static scattering coefficients from a measurement site in Siberia [8].
