Outline Introduction & Motivation MicroWEX-5 MB Model Methodology Results Conclusions 2

Introduction & Motivation Soil moisture (SM) is an important factor  In hydrology: evapotranspiration, infiltration, surface runoff, and groundwater recharge.  In agriculture: crop growth and yield. Satellite missions for SM:  AMSR-E, NASA and JAXA, 2002 – V- & H-pol passive at C-band. – Spatial resolution at km and repeat coverage in 1-2 days.  SMOS, ESA, Nov – V- & H-pol passive at ~1.4GHz (L-band). – Spatial resolution at 40-50km and repeat coverage in 2-3 days  SMAP, NASA, Oct – Active at 1.26 GHz and passive at 1.41GHz. – Spatial resolution of active at 1-3 km and of passive at ~40km and repeat coverage in 2-3 days.  Provide T B for assimilation and soil moisture retrieval. 3

Introduction & Motivation Problem:  The near-surface SM is highly dynamic, particularly in sandy soils.  Current forward microwave algorithms typically use SM averaged over 0-5cm  may result in unrealistic T B. Objectives :  To determine the vertical resolution of the soil moisture necessary to provide realistic T B at L-band for bare soils.  To utilize combined C- & L- band observations to determine the surface roughness and moisture, and the vertical resolution in the soil. 4

Fifth MicroWEX (MicroWEX-5): growing season of sweet corn from March 9 (DoY 68) through May 26 (DoY 146) in 2006 The bare soil period: from DoY 68 to 95; LAI < 0.3 Soil moisture and temperature values were observed every 15 minutes at the depths of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 120cm. V- & H-pol. T B at C-band and H-pol. T B at L-band every 15 minutes. Soil Texture Parameters Porosity (m 3 /m 3 ) 0.37 Sand (% by vol.) 89.4 Clay (% by vol.) 7.1 Silt (% by vol.) 3.5 5

MB Model Typical Approaches  Radiative Transfer Equation: zero order approximation T Bsoil, p = T eff ∙ e p – T eff  Soil temperatures at surface (TIR) and deep layer (~50cm). – e p = (1 - r p )  r p (ε r, roughness) – ε r (SM, soil texture)  dielectric models: Dobson et al., 1996 and Mironov et al., 2009  Rough surface models – Semi-empirical model: Q-h model Wang & Choudhury, 1981  r p (ε r, rmsh, f, θ). – Empirical model Wegmüller & Mätzler, 1999  r p (ε r, rmsh, f, θ); GHz. – Physically-based model: IEM (Fung et al., 1992)  e p (ε r, rmsh, cl, f, θ); applicable for wide range of surfaces. 7

Comparison with observations  VSM 0-5 from MicroWEX-5  Soil porosity = 0.37  Rms height = cm  Correlation length = 8.4 cm  Looking angle = 50 o 8

Methodology Modifications in the MB model:  Soil: – Discrete layers with non-uniform temperature and SM. – Rough surface – Semi-infinite lower boundary  Sandy soils are more porous at the surface. – Top 1.5 cm divided into 7 layers. – 1.5 – 32.5 cm divided into 1cm thick layers. – > 32.5 cm layer thickness increases with depth  1 st order RTE – Single reflection considered at each layer interface. – IEM model is applied at layer 1 - rough surface – T B contributions from each layer combine to obtain the total T B TBTB 9

Methodology  Refractive mixing model for ε – Modified Mironov’s model (2010)  Use C-band (6.7 GHz) T B observations to estimate – Surface roughness  rms height and correlation length – Soil porosity in top 1mm – SM in top 1mm  These parameters are used with the SM observation from lower layers to estimate H-pol. T B at L-band. 10

Results Estimation of rms height, correlation length, and porosity in top 1mm  Provide the best estimate during the dry (SM 1mm = 0.01) and the wet (SM 1mm = 0.29) periods  The SM from 0-2.5cm linearly interpolated -Rms height = 0.41cm -Correlation length = 8.4cm -Soil porosity = 0.55  SM at > 2.5cm from MicroWEX-5 11

Results Estimation of SM in top 1mm.  SM in the top 1mm b/w breaking points linearly interpolated  Rms height = 0.41cm  Correlation length = 8.4cm  Soil porosity = MicroWEX-5 Best estimation 12

Results Comparison of SM in the top 1mm with 0-5 cm SM during MicroWEX-5 Soil porosity: 1mm = 0.55; rest layers =0.37 SM profiles at wet, medium, and dry points 13 MicroWEX-5

Results Comparison of:  T B from MicroWEX-5  Case1: T B using SM 0-5 cm from MicroWEX-5.  Case2: T B using best estimate of SM, porosity, and roughness in the top 1mm from C-band; SM from 1mm-2.5cm linearly interpolated; SM > 2.5cm from MicroWEX-5.  Case3: T B using average of the best estimate in the top 1mm from C- band and SM at 2.5cm from MicroWEX-5; SM > 2.5 cm from MicroWEX- 5; SM in top 1mm at the time of event from C-band for up to 30minutes. 14

Results Extension of methodology to the another drydown period from DoY Estimation of SM in top 1mm MicroWEX-5 Best estimation 15  SM in the top 1mm b/w breaking points linearly interpolated  Rms height = 0.41cm  Correlation length = 8.4cm  Soil porosity = 0.55

Comparison of SM in the top 1mm with 0-5 cm SM during MicroWEX-5 Soil porosity: 1mm = 0.55; rest layers =0.37 SM profiles at wet, medium, and dry points Results 16 MicroWEX-5

Results 17 Comparison of:  T B from MicroWEX-5  Case1: T B using SM 0-5 cm from MicroWEX-5.  Case2: T B using best estimate of SM, porosity, and roughness in the top 1mm from C-band; SM from 1mm-2.5cm linearly interpolated; SM > 2.5cm from MicroWEX-5.  Case3: T B using average of the best estimate in the top 1mm from C- band and SM at 2.5cm from MicroWEX-5; SM > 2.5 cm from MicroWEX- 5; SM in top 1mm at the time of event from C-band for up to 30minutes.

Conclusions SM 0-5cm is not adequate for estimating realistic T B at L-band in sandy soils, particularly during and immediately following precipitation/irrigation events. T B at C-band may be used to derive soil surface characteristics such as roughness, porosity, and SM. T B at L-band may be obtained using the derived properties and the observations at 2cm. Future work: Extending/generalizing the methodology for larger applicability. 18
