Overview
This data set contains brightness temperatures obtained by the Passive Active L-band System (PALS) aircraft instrument. The data were collected as part of SMAPVEX15, the Soil Moisture Active Passive Validation Experiment 2015.
SV15PLSM
This data set contains soil moisture data derived from the brightness temperatures measured by the Passive Active L-band System (PALS) microwave aircraft instrument. The data were collected as part of the Soil Moisture Active Passive Validation Experiment 2015 (SMAPVEX15).
SV15PSM
This data set contains in situ gravimetric and volumetric soil moisture, bulk density, and soil temperature measurements collected for the Soil Moisture Active Passive Validation Experiment 2015 (SMAPVEX15). Sampling was performed at field sites approximately 1 m apart.
