A Soil Moisture Retrieval Method for Reducing Topographic Effect: A Case Study on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau With SMOS Data
The topography can be very important for passive microwave remote sensing of soil moisture due to its complex influence on the emitted brightness temperature observed by a satellite microwave radiometer.In this study, a methodology of using the read more first brightness Stokes parameter (i.e., the sum of vertical and horizontal polarization bright
