Monitoring Terrain Soil Freeze/Thaw Condition on Qinghai Plateau in Spring and Autumn Using Microwave Remote Sensing
The station temperature measuments at 5 cm depth in Qinghai Plateau are compared with the records of horizontally polarized brightness temperature at 37 and 18 GHz from SMMR in 1983 The statistical analysis for classification freeze/thaw condition is used to determine a comprehensive algorithm of two parameters:brightness temperature at 37 GHz and spectral gradient of brightness temperature.It is partly considered that the influence of moisture content on classification
the accuracy of classification still reaches 74%.Since the Qinghai Plateau is located in an arid environment
the soil moisture content is low in Spring and the spectral gradient does not affect the increasing accuracy for classification
