The usefulness of microwave remote sensing to retrieve near-surface soil moisture has already been demonstrated in many studies. However, obtaining high quality estimates of soil moisture is influenced by many effects from soil, vegetation and atmosphere; one of the key parameters is surface roughness. This research focusses on a semi-empirical method to evaluate the roughness effects from space borne observations. Global maps of roughness effects are evaluated at C-band from AMSR-E measurements.Read less <
