USING SMOS PASSIVE MICROWAVE DATA TO DEVELOP SMAP FREEZE/THAW ALGORITHMS ADAPTED FOR THE CANADIAN SUBARCTIC
2015
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
SMOS time series data were analyzed to examine seasonal variations of soil freezing, and to assess the impact of land cover on the Freeze/Thaw cycle. ...
The average accuracies are 80% and 84% for the soil freeze period, and soil thaw period respectively. The comparison is limited because of the small number of validation pixels. ...
The delay between the soil freezing and the water freezing, and also this delay in the thawing period cause errors. ...
