From: Multiyear in-situ L-band microwave radiometry of land surface processes on the Tibetan Plateau
Seasonal variations of the Maqu ELBARA-III radiometry dataset for pre-monsoon season (late March to late June) in 2018. Plotted are soil moisture at 2.5 cm depth (SM_2.5 cm), albedo, ground surface temperature (TG), air temperature (Tair), soil temperature at 2.5 cm depth (ST_2.5 cm), the nominal freezing point as a reference (273.15 K), and the brightness temperature in horizontal and vertical polarization (\({T}_{b}^{H}\), \({T}_{b}^{V}\)) at 40° incidence angle and precipitation (Pre). Trend lines (dashed lines) are added to SM_2.5 cm and (\({T}_{b}^{H}\), \({T}_{b}^{V}\)) time series to assist interpretation.
