The results of spatio-temporally combined microwave active-passive measurements of bare and vegetated soil at 37 GHz

Abstract

In this paper preliminary results of simultaneous and spatially coincident measurements of water surface, bear and vegetated soil and snow microwave reflective and emission characteristics at 37GHz is represented. The measurements were carried out by combined radar-radiometer system of Ka-band (~37GHz) of frequency set on a stationary platform of 6.5m of altitude.
