Stability analysis of microwave emissivity in Simao Yunnan using SSM/I data[J]. Journal of Remote Sensing, 2009,13(5):887-900. DOI: 10.11834/jrs.20090510.
the Microwave Humidity Sounder and the Microwave Radiation Imager were flown on the new-generation polar satellite FY-3A in China.The microwave sensors’ calibration after launch is a critical problem.Using the SSM/I data
and the surface and raob observations
the stability of microwave emissivity in Simao Yunnan is analyzed based on the microwave modeling in this article.The results show that its vegetation situation is very good
and the surface microwave emissivity is stable.The surface microwave emissivity has weak season-to-season variation in law of sines(the changing range is less than 0.02).It also has very small year-to-year difference
which can be corrected by modeling based on the surface and raob observations.
