摘要
The large dielectric constant of water at the lower microwave frequencies causes a large change in the emissivity of soils as they become wet, from 0.95 when dry to less than 0.6 when wet. Numerous aircraft and field experiments have demonstrated that a 1.4 GHz radiometer is sensitive to moisture content of the surface soil layer for a wide range of vegetation conditions. This approach was studied in the large scale field experiments: HAPEX, FIFE and MONSOON 90 using an imaging microwave radiometer operating at a frequency of 1.42 GHz. For FIFE and MONSOON 90 a wide range of moisture conditions were present and it was possible to observe the drydown of the soil following heavy rains and to map its spatial variation. The quantitative agreement of microwave observations and ground measurements was very good. In HAPEX there were no significant rains and conditions were generally rather dry; however, moisture variations due to irrigation were observed.
