Soil Moisture Retrieval from Brightness Temperature using Passive Microwave Remote Sensing
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 …

Use of Precipitation Data from Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 in the Forecasting of Floods in Assam
Abstract: Flood occurs most commonly from heavy rainfall but it can also result from storm surge associated with a tropical cyclone, a tsunami or a high tide coinciding with higher than normal river levels. Rainfall in the upstream of a river can also cause inundation in the downstream side of a river. Reliable and timely information is essential for appropriate flood management system. This paper explains the use of precipitation data …
