An Assessment of QuikSCAT Ku-Band Scatterometer Data for Soil Moisture Sensitivity
2009
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters
QuikSCAT-AMSR-E intercomparisons indicated higher correlations when using C-band observations. The greatest sensitivity to soil moisture was observed when using V-polarized backscatter measurement. ...
In addition, the high QuikSCAT sensor frequency and existence of noise in the observed data contributed to the observed discrepancies. ...
Initial setup and maintenance were funded by the Australian Research Council (DP0343778). ...

Soil moisture retrieval from AMSR-E
2003
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing
The AMSR-E sensor calibration and extent of radio frequency interference are currently being assessed, to be followed by quantitative assessments of the soil moisture retrievals. ...
The AMSR-E soil moisture retrieval approach and its implementation are described in this paper. ...
Passive measurements at frequencies below L-band are susceptible to man-made radio-frequency interference (RFI) and extraterrestrial galactic radiation and are, therefore, unsuitable for earth sensing. ...
