  By Bikramjit Goswami, Rittika Bezbaruah, Lige Kato, Plabita Kalita, Sukanya Dutta, Manoranjan Kalita

  Abstract: Soil Moisture (SM) data are often a derived product of Microwave Remote Sensing (MRS) satellites. The brightness temperature (Tb) however, is a basic quantity associated with the satellites in the Microwave range and is available as a common data product from all MRS satellites. In this paper an attempt has been made to develop an algorithm to retrieve SM information directly from the Tb values obtained from the Advanced Microwave …
