Scientists Develop New Physically-Based Soil Moisture Index from Passive Microwave Observations
Soil moisture (SM) is a pivotal hydrological variable that links the terrestrial water, energy, and carbon cycles. Dr. ZENG Jiangyuan from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR), together with his collaborators have developed a new soil moister index (SMI) to capture the temporal variability of SM. The research has been published in IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing with the title of "a physically based soil moisture index from passive microwave brightness temperatures for soil moisture variation monitoring".
