Title
An interference mitigation technique for passive remote sensing of soil moisture
Abstract
Anthropgenic interference from terrestrial sources of microwave emission have been observed in passive C-band radiometric data using both the NOAA Environmental Technology Laboratory's (ETL) PSR/CX airborne imaging instrument, and the JAXA AMSR-E instrument on the NASA EOS Aqua satellite. Simultaneous observations using multiple similar to 300 MHz subbands, incorporated into the PSR/CX instrument, have provided one means of interference mitigation that is useful under moderately contaminated conditions. ETL has developed a new C-band spectrometer that observes emissions within relatively narrower bandwidths and is tunable from 5.8 to 7.5 GHz. The spectrometer is able to reduce the effects of the interference at the expense of radiance sensitivity and observation time. Preliminary data analysis suggests the spectrometer to be an effective component for improving the accuracy of remotely sensed soil moisture measurements using C-band radiometry.
