USING SMOS PASSIVE MICROWAVE DATA TO DEVELOP SMAP FREEZE/THAW ALGORITHMS ADAPTED FOR THE CANADIAN SUBARCTIC

Seasonal terrestrial Freeze/Thaw cycle in Northern Quebec Tundra (Nunavik) was determined and evaluated with passive microwave observations. SMOS time series data were analyzed to examine seasonal variations of soil freezing, and to assess the impact of land cover on the Freeze/Thaw cycle. Furthermo...
