Abstract :
The energy balance equation of the agricultural geosystem is considered. The feasibility of remote sensing for estimating the parts of this equation is shown. The intercommunication of microwave and infrared radiation fields, meteorological information about air temperature dynamics, and the total condition of natural objects is considered. It is shown that for the estimation of the total condition of an agricultural geosystem, absolute measurements of brightness temperatures at microwave and infrared ranges are not required
