CORALYNN-17 (pPMR)

Polarimetric P-Band Multibeam Radiometer

experiment Overview 

This passive microwave radiometer at P-band (742-752 MHz) provides brightness temperature in vertical and horizontal polarization from four beams, and is expected to provide accurate soil moisture information over a deeper layer of soil (the top ~15cm) that closely relates to crop and pasture growth.
