Soil freeze-thaw cycles have a profound impact on heat and water fluxes at the land-
atmosphere interface and transport in soils. Microwave remote sensing is a widely used …

The microwave dielectric constant is a key bridge in establishing the relationship between
microwave remote sensing and soil salinity (electrical conductivity, EC). However, the …

Topography and vegetation play a major role in sub-pixel variability of Arctic snowpack
properties but are not considered in current passive microwave (PMW) satellite SWE …

Studies on changes in unfrozen water content in copper bentonite from Slovakia were
conducted using both differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nuclear magnetic …

This article expands the tau-omega model to properly simulate L-band microwave emission
of the soil-snow-vegetation continuum through a closed-form solution of Maxwell's …

Soil freeze–thaw events have important implications for water resources, flood risk, land
productivity, and climate change. A property of these phenomena is the relationship …

Passive microwave remote sensing datasets are widely used to observe surface freeze/thaw
(F/T) states. However, current algorithms are highly affected by snow cover and complex …

As the mechanical properties of soil are affected by the moisture content, diameter of soil
particles, and the soil temperature, we used piezoelectric ceramic sensors to monitor the …

In cold regions, the coexistence and interconversion of liquid water and ice in frozen soils
have important implications for energy partitioning and surface runoff at the Earth's surface …

This study focuses on the investigation of thermally induced hydraulic hysteresis due to
freezing and thawing of an unsaturated silty soil layer. Hydraulic hysteresis is relevant with …
