- Abstract:
-
A collaborative inversion monitoring experiment of active and passive microwave remote sensing for soil moisture in maize farmland in Jingxian County was carried out. Firstly, the microwave polarization difference index (MPDI) was calculated by using FY-3B WMRI passive microwave data, and the water content of vegetation layer inversion model was established to remove the influence of vegetation water content on farmland soil moisture inversion. Then, a semi-empirical inversion model of farmland soil moisture in vegetation-covered area was established by combining with the vegetation water content inversion model, water cloud model, the Sentinel-1A active microwave data and some measured soil water content data. Finally, the accuracy of semi-empirical inversion model was verified and analyzed under different sentinel-1A VV/VH polarization conditions. The results show that the accuraces of soil moisture inversion values under VV polarization condition can be characterized by R2(0.7422), RMSE (0.0674) cm3/cm3, MAE (0.0305 cm3/cm3), Max R2, (0.1196 cm3/cm3), MinE (0.0024 cm3/cm3); R2(0.1898),RMSE (0.0768 cm3/cm3), MAE (0.0474 cm3/cm3), MaxE(0.1933 cm3/cm3), MinE (0.0190 cm3/cm3) under VH polarization condition. The inversion values of the VH polarization model in the study area were generally low, and the soil moisture inversion results of the VV polarization model were better than that of the VH polarization model. The VV polarization mode has stronger penetrability which is less affected by the attenuation of the vegetation layer, and is more sensitive to the changes in soil moisture content. The semi-empirical model of soil moisture inversion under VV polarization condition can better reflect the spatial distribution of soil moisture in the study area.
