Outdoor (E-MAC, SIR-C, Priroda, HartX) experiments compare in-situ soil moisture distribution (spatial and profile) to remotely sensed backscattering coefficents and brightness values and evaluate potential application to meteorology. Satellite simulation and extention is performed using fully polarized multifrequency microwave scatterometric measurements of an irrigated soil cylinder in a controlled environment.
