Two passive microwave missions are currently operating at L-band to monitor surface soil
moisture (SM) over continental surfaces. The SMOS sensor, based on an innovative …

In this letter, a monofrequent dielectric model for moist soils taking into account
dependences on the temperature and texture is proposed, in the case of an electromagnetic …

Humic substances (HS) are abundant in the environment and play an important role in a
number of biogeochemical processes including microbial activity, soil aggregation, plant …

Urban green spaces (UGS) and peri-urban green spaces (P-UGS) play a crucial role in
reducing the land surface temperature within the urban environment, especially during heat …

Soil organic matter (SOM) is composed of a complex and heterogeneous mixture of organic
compounds, which poses a challenge in understanding it on an atomistic level. Based on …

The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission is a joint ESA-CNES (F)-CDTI (E)
mission within the ESA Living Planet Program, and it was the second ESA Earth Explorer …

Abstract Soil Organic Matter (SOM) is composed of a complex and heterogeneous mixture of
organic compounds. It has been imperative to understand the structure, water accessibility …

Decoupling the integrated microwave signal originating from soil and vegetation remains a
challenge for all microwave remote sensing applications. To improve satellite and airborne …

We evaluate a new 3-D numerical modeling approach for calculating the rough-surface
scattering and emission of a soil layer. The approach relies on the use of Ansoft's numerical …

In this paper, we demonstrate the effectiveness of multivariate analysis to increase the
performance and reliability of a novel method for a non-invasive sensing approach for …
