研究目的
Assessing the potentials of CYGNSS data for land applications, specifically to detect properties of the land soil moisture.
研究成果
Preliminary results indicate some degree of correlation between CYGNSS reflectivity and SMAP soil moisture, suggesting potential for soil moisture retrieval from CYGNSS data. However, further analysis is required to account for geometrical and geophysical properties to fully assess CYGNSS's capability in providing soil moisture information.
研究不足
The correlation between CYGNSS reflectivity and SMAP soil moisture has been found to be low, potentially due to geometrical effects (i.e., incidence angle) and the influence of other parameters such as vegetation and roughness. These factors need to be taken into account and compensated for in future studies.
