Project Overview 

The multi-frequency radiometers and radar field campaigns comprise of six days. The overall objective of this campaign is to develop algorithms and techniques to retrieve soil moisture profile using L- and P-band radiometers, as well as using L-band radar. The field campaigns involve collecting airborne radiometer data and radar data together with ground observations of soil moisture, vegetation water content, soil surface roughness and ancillary data for a diverse range of conditions.
