@article{goswami_thapa_deka_marak_kalita, title={Evaluation of Soil Moisture Data of Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) 2 for Azara area of Assam, India}, abstractNote={Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 was launched on the Global Change Observation Mission (GCOM) Satellite by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), to observe microwaves naturally emitted from the atmosphere, land surface, sea surface and cryosphere. In this paper, we have presented the evaluative study about the usefulness of the soil moisture product of AMSR 2 for places having mixed land cover characteristics. While performing our experiments, we observed that AMSR 2 gives inaccurate values of soil moisture for places having large areas of open water bodies. The results are also validated by measurement of dielectric constant variation of the soil samples collected.}, author={Goswami and Thapa and Deka and Marak and Kalita} }
