  1. Update status of soil moisture algorithm 2008.7.15 Joint AMSR Science Team Meeting, July 14-16, Telluride, CO H.Fujii (JAXA/EORC) and T.Koike(UT)

  2. Defect of Koike's Algorithm "There are significant weaknesses in the JAXA product over vegetated sites" (T.J. Jackson, The GLI / AMSR workshop 2008 in Atami Japan, Jan.23,2008) Fig: Scatter plots of AMSR-E Monthly Soil moisture (y-axis) versus in-situ data (x-axis) at the Little River ,GA,USA monthly volumetric soil moisture in % 60 • Match-up • Data Period • January, 2003 -- December 2007 (60 months) • In-Situ: • data source: SCAN 2027 Little River, GA, U.S.A • sensor depth ; 5cm • sampling method: observed data which has closest timestamp to AMSR-E observation time within 1 hour • AMSR-E: • data source: JAXA product ver.5 Level2 • sampling method: closest FOV to the SCAN point within 5km range.

  11. Summary • The new global data set of fractional vegetation cover, fc, is introduced into the algorithm • The roughness parameter calibratedat Mongolia is used in the Ratiative Transfer Model. • The algorithm validated at Little River and the result showed that the accuracy was improved by comparing the old algorithms. Near future plan. • Masking method for uniformly and dense vegetated area. • Behavior of the algorithm in Sahara
